2. “Medicaid recipients are unable to collect the Medicaid “write-off’ amounts as damages because no consideration is provided for the benefit. Thus, plaintiffs recovery is limited to what was paid by Medicaid. However, in those instances, where plaintiffs patrimony has been diminished in some way in order to obtain the collateral source benefits, then plaintiff is entitled to the benefit of the bargain, and may recover the full value of his medical services, including the “write-off’ amount.”
