25 Tex. Admin. Code § 97.124 - Payment for Anti-Rabies Biologicals
The department is specifically authorized by law to distribute anti-rabies biologicals and to receive reimbursement based on the department's current contract.
(1)
Options for reimbursement will be in accordance with policies set by the
department, and are as follows:
(A) The
patient or patient's agent will provide the department proof of viable
insurance coverage. If the insurance does not pay or does not pay the entire
amount, the patient or patient's agent may be responsible for any outstanding
balance.
(B) Proof of inability to
pay. If a patient is unable to pay, the patient will be required to sign a
statement that he/she will provide the department with financial information to
pursue a reduced amount charged.
(2) Refusal to pay. The department shall have
the right to seek reimbursement in the event of a refusal to pay by a patient,
or by his or her third-party coverage or other legally obligated source. A
county or district attorney or the Texas Attorney General, upon request of the
department, may initiate suit or other proceeding in the county of the
recipient's residence.
(3) The
issuance of anti-rabies biologicals will not be withheld due a patient's
inability to pay.
