Payment of health claims.

Summary

The law obligates Indiana hospitals to inform patients about charity care and other payment assistance programs through written notices, signage, and patient portals, and to notify them before any collection action. It also prohibits insurers and health‑maintenance organizations from downcoding claims, using AI to do so without human review, and from retroactively lowering CPT reimbursement rates. Finally, it sets strict time limits on overpayment recoupments, audits, and error corrections, and adds civil penalties for non‑compliant hospitals.
