 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
Health Insurance Liability Recovery Protection Act of 2000 - Amends the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group health insurance coverage from recovering from a participant or beneficiary more than the amounts expended by the plan or issuer on behalf of the participant or beneficiary in the case of amounts recovered as a result of a settlement or judgment in a liability or other action.

Amends the PHSA to apply the preceding prohibition to health insurance coverage offered by an issuer in the individual market in the same manner as it is applied to group health plan coverage in the group market.

Provides for coordination between the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services with respect to administration of this Act.
