What’s in it
AI summary Doctors must send all medical bills to a person's health insurance company, even if someone else caused the injury.

This bill relates to health insurance coverage and subrogation and indemnification. Under the bill, a health care provider shall submit all charges for health care services to an injured covered person’s health benefit plan, and the health benefit plan shall not deny payment on the basis that a third party or other insurance carrier is responsible for the covered person’s injuries. The bill does not prohibit a health benefit plan from seeking subrogation or indemnification from a third party.
