Catch Title:
Title 25 payment obligations-federal entities.

Subject:
Requirement
to seek
federal
payment for involuntary commitment services prior to seeking reimbursement from the state.

Summary/Major Elements:

This bill clarifies existing law and specifies that a county must seek reimbursement for costs related to Title 25 involuntary commitments from the Veterans' Administra
tion, the Indian Health Service
and any other federal agency that may be responsible for the costs, prior to seeking reimbursement from the State.

The bill specifies that a claim submitted to these federal agencies may be deemed denied if the
re is no response within three
months.
However,
i
f a demand for payment is paid by a federal agency after having been deemed denied, and after
reimbursement has been
made
without the federal funds,
the bill requires
that the federal funds be submitted
to the entity that
paid the
original
reimbursement. The entity that made the original re
imbursement enjoys a right of subrogation against every entity to whom a written demand
for payment i
s made.
