What’s in it

AI summary If a person has two different health insurance plans, the first plan must share certain paperwork with the second plan. When the second plan asks for a copy of an explanation of benefits, the first plan has a set number of days to send it over. This rule helps insurance companies coordinate how they pay for medical care.1
