HB 2503 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Insurance, Health, Accident - As enacted, authorizes a health insurance entity to offer a short-term limited-duration plan and hospital indemnity coverage on the marketplace. - Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 10; Title 12; Title 29; Title 35; Title 36; Title 37; Title 39; Title 40; Title 41; Title 42; Title 45; Title 47; Title 49; Title 50; Title 52; Title 53; Title 56; Title 58; Title 63; Title 67; Title 68 and Title 71.

HB 2503 reduces from 10 to 9 business days the time health insurance carriers must provide healthcare providers with their fee schedules after a written request. The bill requires insurers to deliver these fee schedules - either partial or full versions as requested - free of charge, in a standard spreadsheet format (like Microsoft Excel) to the provider's dedicated email address. This change directly affects healthcare providers who request fee schedules, aiming to streamline access to billing information under Tennessee law. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code related to health insurance but does not alter coverage or benefits.
