Bill > HB170

This bill adds a new section to Georgia insurance law that requires benefit providers (such as insurers, health maintenance organizations, and employee benefit plans) to disclose certain payment information to healthcare providers. Specifically, within 30 days of a written request from a treating healthcare provider, a benefit provider must provide a detailed written accounting of all payments and reimbursements made to an "injured party" for healthcare services. The bill defines key terms, including "injured party" as a person alleging injury by a third party who has received payments or reimbursements, and "treating healthcare provider" as a licensed healthcare professional who has provided services to the injured party. This legislation aims to increase transparency in healthcare payment processes by ensuring that healthcare providers can obtain information about payments related to their services, which could be particularly useful in cases involving medical treatment following an injury or accident.
