House Bill 511 amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new section to Title 56, Chapter 7, Part 10, which mandates that healthcare providers, groups, practices, clinics, facilities, or any other entities contracted with health insurance companies must notify these insurers promptly if they experience a cyber-attack. This requirement aims to enhance communication and transparency between healthcare entities and insurance providers regarding potential security breaches that could affect patient data and claims processing.

The bill emphasizes the importance of timely notification to health insurance entities, ensuring that they are aware of any cyber threats that may impact their operations or the services provided to their clients. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of addressing cybersecurity issues within the healthcare sector.
