The bill H. 3089 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 44-7-395, which mandates that hospitals, healthcare facilities, and other medical providers must file an insurance claim with a patient's health insurer for reimbursement of medical costs and expenses within thirty days of providing treatment or services. This requirement is specifically applicable to insured patients who have received treatment for personal injuries.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a medical provider fails to submit the claim within the specified timeframe, they will forfeit their right to reimbursement. This legislative change is intended to streamline the billing process and ensure timely claims submission by medical providers. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
