Summary
The bill broadens what Rhode Island’s Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline can deem “unprofessional conduct,” adding many forms of fraud, substance abuse, fee‑splitting and other misconduct. It also requires health insurers and similar entities to pay complete claims within 30‑40 days, bans denial based only on third‑party involvement, and imposes a 12% annual interest penalty for late payments. The changes aim to protect patients and ensure faster reimbursement for providers.
