Bill > H850

This bill amends Chapter 175 of the general laws, which pertains to insurance companies, by adding a new section that requires insurance companies to directly reimburse service providers, or issue payments jointly to both the service provider and the claimant, when making a one-time payment for services rendered under an insurance contract. This ensures that the service provider receives their payment promptly for nonrecurring services, though it does not prevent insurers from negotiating separate reimbursement rates with service providers who do not participate in their network.
