Senator Keyeski added as a coauthor
Summary
The bill creates new statutes that force certain health insurance plans to pay for emergency medical services even when the provider is out of network. It caps cost‑sharing at the same level as in‑network care and requires insurers to pay the difference between out‑of‑network rates and the enrollee’s share. The goal is to stop patients from receiving unexpected large bills after emergency treatment.
