Signed by the Governor
Summary
The law creates Chapter 45.2, which applies to any claim that goes through the federal independent dispute resolution (IDR) system. It obligates health carriers and out‑of‑network providers to give written notice to the facility within three business days and sets penalties for non‑compliance. It also mandates a good‑faith conference and a written memorandum when a carrier submits many IDR requests, aiming to resolve payment disagreements without litigation.
