House Bill 1078 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 56-2-125(f)(1), by deleting the existing subdivision (A) and replacing it with new language. The revised provision mandates that each month, a group health plan or health insurance issuer must provide electronic health insurance claims data for state residents to the commissioner or a designated entity authorized by the commissioner. This requirement is to be carried out in accordance with standards and procedures recommended by the Tennessee health information committee and adopted by the commissioner through rulemaking.

The bill emphasizes the importance of data sharing in the health insurance sector, aiming to enhance transparency and efficiency in the management of health claims. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in addressing the needs of public welfare.
