The medical support obligor shall provide to the medical support obligee within thirty days of receipt of effective notice of a court order for health insurance coverage pursuant to the Mandatory Medical Support Act written proof of the medical support obligor's compliance with that order.

(1) the medical support obligor fails to provide written proof of compliance with the court order to the medical support obligee within thirty days of the medical support obligor's receipt of effective written notice of the court order;
(2) the medical support obligee serves by mail at the medical support obligor's last known post office address written notice on the medical support obligor of the medical support obligee's intent to enforce the order; and
(3) the medical support obligor fails to provide within fifteen days after the date the medical support obligee mailed the notice in Paragraph (2) of this subsection written proof to the medical support obligee that the medical support obligor has obtained the health insurance coverage ordered by the court or has applied for such coverage.
C. Upon receipt of a court order for health insurance coverage pursuant to the Mandatory Medical Support Act, the employer or union shall forward a copy of the order to the health insurer or dental insurer, as applicable.
