Sec. 732.22  Recovery of medical care payments.

    Adjudication authorities must submit evidence of payment to the 
action JAG designee per chapter 24 of the Manual of the Judge Advocate 
General (JAGMAN), in each instance of payment where a third party may be 
legally liable for causing the injury or disease treated, or when a 
Government claim is possible under workers compensation, no-fault 
insurance, or under medical payments insurance (all automobile accident 
cases).
    (a) To assist in identifying possible third party liability cases, 
item 16 of each NAVMED 6320/10 must be completed whenever benefits are 
received in connection with a vehicle accident. Adjudication authorities 
should return for completion, as applicable, any claim received without 
item 16 completed.
    (b) The front of a NAVJAG Form 5890/12 (Hospital and Medical Care, 
3rd Party Liability Case) must be completed and submitted by 
adjudication authorities with evidence of payment. Block 4 of this form 
requires an appended statement of the patient or an accident report, if 
available. To ensure that Privacy Act procedures are accomplished and 
documented, the person securing such a statement from a recipient of 
care must show the recipient the Privacy Act statement printed at the 
bottom of the form prior to securing such a statement. The member should 
be asked to sign his or her name beneath the statement.
    (c) For care rendered in States with no-fault insurance laws, comply 
with procedures outlined in Sec. 732.19(c)(3).
