This bill mandates that health plan companies, dental organizations, and third-party administrators submit data on fully denied claims to the all-payer claims database. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 62U.04, to require that the data for fully denied claims includes specific fields such as indicators of denied claim lines, reasons for denial, claim line status, and a claim identifier linking to subsequent actions. Additionally, the bill establishes a fee schedule for expanded access to this data, ensuring that fees do not create barriers for those most affected by disparities in health care.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new subdivision that outlines the fees associated with accessing different types of data sets, including standard, limited-use, and custom data sets. It allows for partial or full fee waivers based on certain criteria, such as financial hardship or affiliation with academic institutions. The bill also appropriates funds for the collection of data on fully denied claims, ensuring that the Minnesota Department of Health has the necessary resources to implement these changes effectively.
