Bill > HB323

This bill, the Bridging the Gap for ALS and Chronic Kidney Disease Act of 2025, amends Georgia law concerning insurance transactions to require a "benefit provider" – which is defined as any entity that pays for healthcare expenses or provides disability or lost wage benefits, such as an insurer or health plan – to disclose payment information to a "treating healthcare provider" – meaning a licensed medical professional who provided services to an injured person. Specifically, upon written request from a treating healthcare provider, the benefit provider must provide a written accounting of all payments and reimbursements made to an "injured party" (a person claiming injury from a third party who received benefits) for the services rendered by that treating healthcare provider. This provision aims to improve transparency and communication between healthcare providers and the entities that pay for patient care, particularly in cases involving injuries.
