Bill Summary
This bill provides that a health insurance carrier which offers a managed care plan that provides coverage for laboratory services provided by clinical laboratories shall not deny a licensed clinical laboratory the right to participate as a provider in the carrier's provider network under the same terms and conditions currently applicable to all other participating clinical laboratories.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance carriers offering managed care plans, which are types of health insurance that contract with healthcare providers to offer services at a set rate, to allow any licensed clinical laboratory to join their network of providers. This means that if a managed care plan covers laboratory services, it cannot refuse to let a licensed clinical laboratory become a participating provider as long as that laboratory agrees to the same contract terms and conditions as other labs already in the network. The bill also mandates that the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance will create regulations to implement these changes, and the law will become effective on the first day of the second month after it is enacted.
