OPINION OF THE COURT
ALDISERT, Circuit Judge.
This diversity case presents an issue of first impression and requires that we interpret an important statutory component of the Pennsylvania No-Fault Motor Vehicle Insurance Act, PA.STAT.ANN. tit. 40, §§ 1009.101-1009.701 (Purdon Supp.1983). We must decide if a provision of the Act’s Assigned Claims Plan, § 1009.108, permits an accident victim to recover' under the statute for hospital and medical expenses which have previously been paid by a Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance plan. We hold that such recovery is allowed.
