IN RE: RISK INSURANCE - RECAPTURE INJURY EXPENSES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in its provision of benefits to Oakland County's employees, the
County provides medical and hospitalization insurance on a self-insured basis,
and additionally is responsible for jail inmates and indigent county residents,
and
WHEREAS, such persons who are injured in non-auto and non-work related
accidents receive their payments for medical services from the County, and in the
case of employees also receive paid time off from the County, and
WHEREAS, some of these costs may be reimbursable to the County from other
insurers, or from damages awarded by settlement of claim for the injury.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby direct the Risk Insurance Management Director to develop a program
which will actively seek to reduce the county's liability for dental, medical,
hospitalization, therapy and all other treatments and costs pertaining to injury
including compensated convalescent leave through the establishment of a review
process which shall include recapture of such costs from other insurers and from
claim settlements and or litigated settlements.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
