Bill > HB706

This bill prohibits insurance companies from auditing healthcare provider services after the services have been delivered but before the provider has been paid. If an insurer violates this rule, they must immediately pay the provider for the services, protect the patient from any co-pays or co-insurance, and pay 15% annual interest on the delayed payment, plus reimburse the provider for any costs incurred to enforce the provision. Furthermore, an insurer found to have violated this rule waives their right to retrospectively review those specific services. This change is intended to prevent insurers from withholding payments or recouping funds based on audits conducted after the fact, thereby ensuring timely payment to providers and protecting patients from unexpected financial burdens.
