Bill > LB852

This bill amends the Medicare Supplement Insurance Minimum Standards Act in Nebraska. It defines key terms like "balance bill" and "medicare-approved amount," and prohibits non-participating Medicare suppliers from balance billing beneficiaries unless the beneficiary agrees to pay the additional amount upfront. The bill also requires issuers of Medicare supplement policies to limit reimbursement for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies to no more than 115% of the Medicare-approved amount. Additionally, the bill mandates that issuers offer at least one Medicare supplement policy or certificate to individuals under 65 who are eligible for Medicare due to disability, and limits the premium for these individuals to no more than 150% of the premium for a similarly situated 65+ individual.
