     246.531 Subrogation of insurance settlements. 

    Subdivision 1.    Subrogation to client's rights.  The 
 Department of Human Services shall be subrogated, to the extent 
 of the cost of care for services given, to the rights a client 
 who receives treatment or care at a state facility may have 
 under private health care coverage.  The right of subrogation 
 does not attach to benefits paid or provided under private 
 health care coverage before the carrier issuing the health care 
 coverage receives written notice of the exercise of subrogation 
 rights. 

    Subd. 2.    Civil action.  To recover under this 
 section, the Department of Human Services, with counsel of the 
 attorney general, may institute or join in a civil action 
 against the carrier issuing the private health care coverage.
