§ 43-13-313. Denotation on medical information furnished by provider; provider to direct copy of medical information and authorization to Division of Medicaid; effect of failure to comply.

(1) In furnishing medical information to the recipient, his attorney or any other party upon written authorization, a provider participating in the Medicaid program shall denote in writing on such medical information that the patient is a Medicaid recipient and his Medicaid identification number, and if the medical charges have been paid by the Division of Medicaid, the provider shall, in addition, write or cause to be stamped or printed thereon "paid by the Division of Medicaid." If the provider has not been paid by the Division of Medicaid but seeks to bill the Division of Medicaid for medical services rendered the recipient, the provider shall denote in writing on such medical information the same information as herein provided and shall advise the recipient, his attorney, or any other party upon written authorization that it intends to bill the Division of Medicaid for medical services rendered the recipient.

(2) At the time the requested medical information is furnished to the recipient, his attorney, or other party, including medical information produced under court order, subpoena, interrogatory or deposition, the participating provider shall immediately direct a copy of the medical information so furnished or produced to the Division of Medicaid along with the authorization for the production of such information. The failure of the provider of medical services to comply with the provisions of this section shall subject the provider to recourse by the Division of Medicaid in accordance with the provisions of Section 43-13-311.
