Summary

It adds a detailed list of actions—such as fraudulent advertising, substance abuse, fee‑splitting, false reporting, and illegal Medicare billing—that the Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline can treat as unprofessional. It also requires insurers to pay complete claims within 40 days for paper submissions or 30 days for electronic ones and bars denial of a claim just because it arose from a third‑party incident. The changes are intended to protect patients and improve payment timeliness.
