Amendment 38

Surprise billing protections for patients

Ms. Comerford, Ms. Gobi, Messrs. Montigny, Timilty and Moore, Ms. Moran and Mr. O'Connor move that the proposed new draft be amended in section 28, by inserting after the word “service,” in line 271, the following sentence:-

"If a health care provider that does not participate in the patient’s health benefit plan fails to provide the required notifications under this subsection, the provider shall not bill the insured except for any applicable copayment, coinsurance or deductible that would be payable if the insured received such service or services from a participating health care provider under the terms of the insured’s health benefit plan.".
