Sec. 3. (a) In the liquidation of a health maintenance organization, the claims against the health maintenance organization by enrollees, beneficiaries, and providers qualify as class 3 claims under IC 27-9-3-40(3).

(b) If an enrollee is liable to a provider for services provided under and covered by a health maintenance organization, that liability has the status of an enrollee claim in the liquidation of a health maintenance organization. If the health maintenance organization in liquidation pays the provider the amount of a claim under this subsection, then the claim of the enrollee is extinguished.
