Summary
HB 1279 would force health insurers to pay health‑care providers the entire amount due for services, including any copay, coinsurance or deductible, and to collect those patient charges on their own. It bars insurers from shifting collection duties, withholding provider payments, or canceling coverage solely for non‑payment. Insurers must certify each year that they complied.
