title: Protecting the subrogation rights of self-insured group health plans.
abstract: As a means of controlling costs, self-insured group health plans often contain subrogation provisions that give the plan a right to recoup benefits paid to a plan participant or beneficiary who recovers damages from a third party. Such subrogation claims are frequently contested, so it is important that a plan's subrogation provisions are properly drafted.
