Type Bill
Session 2020 Regular Session
Subjects
Insurance

Concerning a correction to the rate of reimbursement that an out-of-network health care provider is entitled to receive from a health insurance carrier for services provided to a covered person at an in-network facility when the health care provider submits a claim to the carrier within the specified time period to conform with existing law.

Bill Summary:

The act corrects the reimbursement rate specified in law that a health insurance carrier is required to reimburse an out-of-network health care provider who provides either emergency services to a covered person or covered nonemergency services to a covered person at an in-network facility so that the law accurately states the reimbursement rate as the greater of:

  • 110% of the carrier's median in-network rate of reimbursement; or
  • The sixtieth percentile of the in-network rate of reimbursement for the same service in the same geographic area for the prior year based on claims from the all-payer health claims database.
    (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
