Sec. 2.
(a) When the office, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 1396p, determines that a Medicaid recipient who resides in a medical institution cannot reasonably be expected to be discharged from a medical institution and return home, the office may obtain a lien on the Medicaid recipient's real property for the cost of all Medicaid expenditures made on behalf of the recipient.
(b) The office shall conduct a look back (as described in 42 U.S.C. 1396p(c)) of a Medicaid recipient's property of at least three (3) years.
(c) A lien obtained under this chapter is subordinate to the security interest of a financial institution that loans money to be used as operating capital for the operation of a farm, a business, or income producing real property.
