Currently, enrollees of health insurance can contact the insurance company and the company must provide the amount of cost-sharing, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, under the enrollee's health benefit plan or coverage that the enrollee would be responsible for paying with respect to the furnishing of a specific item or service by a participating provider in a timely manner upon the request of the enrollee.
This bill requires health insurance companies to immediately provide the specific reimbursement amount, expressed in dollars and not as a percentage, at the written or oral request of the enrollee.
