Nonparticipating providers.

Summary

The law adds a new Chapter 45.2 that requires health carriers, out‑of‑network providers, and facilities to use a formal notice‑and‑conference process to resolve payment disputes, with penalties for non‑compliance. It also bars carriers from charging administrative fees or penalties tied to out‑of‑network care and broadens the state’s definition of unfair and deceptive insurance practices. The changes aim to increase transparency, reduce surprise billing, and protect consumers and providers.
