20-77-1714. Hospital claims.
(a) When more than one (1) hospital provides services to a recipient and the amount of claims exceeds the recipient's benefit limit, then the hospitals are entitled to reimbursement based on the earliest date of service.
(b) If the claims have been paid by Medicaid contrary to this provision and voluntary coordination among the hospitals involved does not resolve the matter, then the hospitals shall resort to mediation or arbitration at the hospitals' expense.
