Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires an insurer that has issued a group or individual health insurance policy (each called a "disability insurance policy" in the statutes) to pay a health care provider (provider) directly for any service, item, or supply that the provider provides to an insured under the health insurance policy if: the service, item, or supply is covered under the health insurance policy; the provider is not under contract with the insurer to provide services, items, or supplies to the insurer's insureds; and the provider provides to the insurer an assignment of benefits from the insured to the provider. The bill defines an assignment of benefits as a written instrument signed by an insured or the insured's authorized representative that assigns to a provider the insured's claim for payment, reimbursement, or benefits under a health insurance policy.
