Read second time and amended. Re-referred to Com. on APPR.
Summary
The bill forces California health care service plans and insurers to reimburse complete claims within 30 calendar days and to send claimants a written explanation if a claim is contested or denied, specifying what is missing or why it was denied. Plans must also accept electronic medical records through a standard electronic submission method and cannot delay a claim because their systems cannot process the documentation. Late payments trigger a 15% annual interest charge and possible additional fees.
