The agreement shall include, but is not limited to, the following provisions:
(a)
The contractor shall discover and recover amounts owing by third parties which may be subject to a claim for reimbursement.(b)
Payment to the contractor shall be based upon a no cost percentage of recovery formula, which shall not exceed 25 percent of the gross recovery upon the claim. It is the intent of the Legislature that “no cost” include all considerations for court costs, legal fees, and the universe of the case processing activity, not including, however, departmental processing.(c)
The contractor shall report periodically to the department concerning its progress in the discovery of cases and the recovery of amounts subject to claim, and shall provide such other information as the department may require to adequately monitor the progress of the contractor. Reports and other information shall be required only at one-month intervals.
