AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Tennessee's health records and insurance regulations. First, it modifies the state code related to medical record access by removing certain exceptions to the existing rules. Second, it requires health insurance entities to establish and maintain several specific Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to improve health information access, including APIs for patient access, provider directories, payer-to-payer exchanges, provider access, and prior authorization. These APIs are based on federal regulations (42 CFR) and will help patients and healthcare providers more easily share and access health information. The bill mandates that health insurance entities must implement these APIs by the earliest date the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires for any of their regulated plan or product types. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with the goal of enhancing transparency and efficiency in healthcare information exchange.
