An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, further providing for billing.
HB 117 requires insurers to include a clear, separate notice with reimbursement payments for emergency medical services provided by non-network EMS agencies. This notice must explain the service details (date, agency), clarify that the recipient is responsible for the EMS bill, and detail payment options - including whether the insurer already paid the agency or if the recipient owes copays/deductibles. The notice must be printed on red paper with "STOP" in 24-point bold and "Read this notice before depositing payment" in 18-point bold, using at least 10-point font size. The bill directly affects insurers sending such payments and the covered persons receiving them, ensuring transparency about billing responsibilities.
