and the Louisiana State Employees Uniform Group Benefits Program, shall
provide to the Louisiana Department of Health information on their insureds,

have received services from the department and on whose behalf the
department may be entitled to receive insurance benefits. This information
shall be provided monthly and once received by the department shall be
confidential information in the same manner as other confidential information
of the department.

indemnity policy benefits pay less than twenty-five dollars a day in hospital or
