Generally, the answer is yes! Generally, most health insurance contracts have what is called a subrogation provision in it. Subrogation provisions are a part of an insurance contract which requires you to repay the health insurance when they pay bills that are related to a contract. If you don’t get money from your case, you don’t owe the money back. But if you do win your case, then you have to repay them. With medicare and medicaid, there is no insurance contract obviously but there are statutes that basically require repayments just like subrogation provisions in insurance policies. The idea is that you cannot just seek pain and suffering in a case but must seek repayment of medical bills and then if health insurance has paid those bills, they would get their money back.
