§468. Payor of last resort; nonsubstitution; reduction of other benefits
A. Funds provided pursuant to this Chapter may not be used to satisfy a financial commitment for services that would have been paid for from another public or private source, including any medical program administered by the Secretary of Defense, but for the enactment of this Chapter; except that whenever considered necessary to prevent a delay in the receipt of appropriate early intervention services by the infant or toddler or family according to the department's established timeline for timely delivery of services, funds provided pursuant to this Chapter may be used to pay the provider of services pending reimbursement from the agency that has ultimate responsibility for the payment.
B. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to permit the department to reduce medical or other assistance available or to alter eligibility pursuant to Title V of the Social Security Act, relating to maternal and child health, or Title XIX of the Social Security Act, relating to Medicaid for infants or toddlers with disabilities, within the state of Louisiana.
