A bill for an act relating to insurance coverage for emergency services, reimbursements for out-of-network providers, and complicating factors.

This bill requires health insurance plans to cover emergency services provided by out-of-network doctors or hospitals, ensuring patients aren't charged more than their standard cost-sharing. Out-of-network providers must be reimbursed at the greater of 150% of Medicare rates or the median payment for similar services by in-network providers, with no additional billing allowed beyond patient cost-sharing. It introduces a new process for providers to request extra reimbursement (25% more) for "complicating factors" (like severe conditions requiring exceptional effort), supported by medical documentation. Disputes over these additional claims are resolved through binding arbitration managed by the insurance commissioner, with strict timelines for claims submission and decisions.
