§ 12.036. SUBROGATION. (a) In furnishing public health
services to a person, the department is subrogated to the person's
right of recovery from:
(1) personal insurance;
(2) another person, for a personal injury caused by
the other person's negligence or wrongdoing; or
(3) any other source.
(b) The department's right of subrogation is limited to the
cost of the services provided.
(c) The board or the board's designee may waive the
department's right of subrogation in whole or in part if the board
or the designee determines that:
(1) enforcement of the right would tend to defeat the
purpose of the department's program; or
(2) the administrative expense of the enforcement
would be greater than the expected recovery.
(d) The board may adopt rules for the enforcement of the
department's right of subrogation.
