This bill mandates that health care providers disclose detailed information about medical services billed to a patient's insurance carrier. It introduces a new subdivision to RSA 332-I, specifically sections 332-I:14 and 332-I:15, which define key terms such as "health care provider," "patient," "insurance carrier," and "medical services." The bill requires health care providers to furnish a written or electronic statement to each patient or their authorized representative, detailing all medical services billed to the insurance carrier. This statement must include descriptions of the services provided, dates of service, billing codes, amounts billed, payments or denials by the insurance carrier, and any remaining balance owed by the patient. The statement must be provided within 15 business days of the claim submission.
Additionally, the bill specifies that disclosures can be made electronically through secure patient portals or email (with patient consent) or in hard copy upon request. It emphasizes that the information must be presented in a clear and understandable format. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
