Committee advances bill to let providers obtain patients' EOBs for claims reconciliation
Summary
House Bill 170 (LC520621), described by its sponsor as an insurance-transparency bill, would allow providers access to the Explanation of Benefits a patient receives so providers can better reconcile claims and billing; the committee approved the bill by voice vote.
A sponsor presenting House Bill 170 (LC520621) said the measure restores insurance-transparency protections for providers and aligns with work from the Blue Ribbon committee on rates. The sponsor told the committee the bill had no changes since last year and focuses on giving providers access to the same Explanation of Benefits (EOB) a patient receives so providers can reconcile billing and claims data more accurately.
There were no substantive questions recorded in the transcript and the committee moved to a motion to pass; the committee approved the bill by voice vote.
The sponsor thanked the committee and the chair adjourned the meeting after concluding business.
