Bill > HB4713

This bill amends the Health Care False Claim Act to update and clarify definitions related to health care insurers and corporations. The key changes expand the definition of "health care insurer" to include automobile insurers that provide personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, in addition to traditional health insurance companies and self-insured entities. The bill also modernizes language and citation references throughout the definitions section, updating references to specific Michigan laws and Acts with more current statutory citations. The definitions being refined include terms like "claim", "deceptive", "false", "health care benefit", "health care corporation", and "health care insurer". These changes aim to broaden the scope of entities covered under the Act and provide more precise legal language. The modifications ensure that automobile insurers providing personal injury protection are subject to the same false claim protections and regulations as other health care insurers, which could help prevent fraudulent insurance claims and protect both insurers and consumers.
