With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". and the entity responsible for funding the plan. Cf. 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(2)(B)(ii) (providing that United States authorized to recover Medicare payments via action against any entity required or responsible to pay primary). In this case, it is undisputed that Deluxe, and not John Hancock, is the party responsible for funding the group health plan through which Santana claims benefits. The Plan is self-funded by Deluxe; all claims under the Plan are paid with Deluxe funds whereas John Hancock provides administrative services, but no funds, to the Plan. Therefore, as a matter of law, Santana cannot maintain an action against John Hancock for purportedly failing to pay Plan benefits primary to Medicare. Cf. Health Ins. Assoc. of America, Inc. v. Shalala, 23 F.3d 412, 417 (D.C.Cir.1994) (<HOLDING>), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 115 S.Ct. 1095, 130
