Bill > SB303

This bill, known as the "Georgia Right to Shop Act", aims to provide greater transparency of prices for non-emergency healthcare services in Georgia. It requires health insurers to make available on their websites an interactive mechanism that allows the public to compare the payment amounts accepted by in-network providers, estimate the average amounts accepted for specific services, and estimate the out-of-pocket costs for covered persons. The bill also requires insurers to provide quality metrics for in-network providers based on standardized data. Insurers may use third parties to comply with these requirements, and the bill outlines certain exceptions and notice requirements. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2021.
