5070-1        CASEWORKER RESPONSIBILITY FOR TPL Third Party Liability

Third party liability must be reported by a recipient when applicable.  If a recipient reports an accident or injury, mentions a Workers' Compensation claim, or reports receipt of any lump sum income which is, or appears to be, related to an accident, the caseworker will email this information directly to the Division of Health Care Services TPL Third Party Liability (third party liability) unit at DMA_TPL@alaska.gov.

The Third Party Liability Unit edits medical claims submitted for payment which indicate that services have been delivered related to an accident or injury.  The TPL Third Party Liability unit develops this information and acts as a clearinghouse for all reports of TPR Third Party Resource or TPL Third Party Liability , making referrals to the appropriate office or agency.
