Relating to: allowing discounts for prompt payment of health care fees.
Failed to pass pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 1
Summary
The bill stops health‑care providers from lowering coinsurance or deductibles required by a patient’s disability insurance, unless paying the full amount would cause severe financial hardship. It also allows providers to give a discount of up to 15% for patients who pay promptly, as long as the discount follows detailed conditions and does not shift costs to others. The measure aims to protect insurers while giving patients a modest incentive to pay quickly.
