The bill amends the Michigan Insurance Code of 1956 by adding a new section, 3406vv, which mandates the development of a uniform credentialing application by the department, as referenced in section 3406uu. This new section ensures that health insurance policies delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in Michigan do not require insurers to violate or fail to meet the standards set by nationally recognized credentialing entities.
Additionally, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of either Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5512 from the 103rd Legislature. This stipulation indicates that the implementation of the new credentialing application and associated requirements is linked to the successful enactment of related legislation.
