Description
Health insurance provider contracts; access to coverage information. Requires health care provider contracts to require that the carrier providing the health plan make available to providers, by the Internet or other electronic medium, information that allows the provider to determine if the enrollee is covered under a health plan for which the provider is a member of the provider network or provider panel, if the enrollee is covered under another health plan provided by the carrier, and information regarding the enrollee's coordination of benefits. A carrier shall not deny a claim for payment unless it has determined that another carrier is the primary carrier of the enrollee and the primary carrier's name has been made available to the provider. The measure applies to provider contracts entered into, amended, extended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2009. Read the Bill »
