Amount a provider can charge an enrollee for denied covered services limited.

This bill limits how much healthcare providers can charge patients when a health insurance company denies coverage for a service that should be covered under the patient's plan. Under the new rule, providers can only charge patients up to the agreed-upon negotiated rate plus an additional 20 percent for these denied services. Any amount patients pay toward these charges will count toward their insurance deductible. The bill does not require health plans to cover out-of-network providers or services not included in their plan, and it defines the negotiated rate as the amount providers and insurance companies have already agreed to in their contracts.
