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 insurance company asks for an explanation of benefits, the first company has a set number of days to send it. This rule ensures that secondary insurance providers get the information they need to process claims.1

This bill relates to secondary health benefit plans’ (plan) access to explanation of benefits from primary health benefit plans. If a covered person’s secondary plan requests a copy of an explanation of benefits (EOB) from a covered person’s primary plan, the primary plan shall provide a copy of the EOB no later than calendar days from the date of the request. “EOB” is defined in the bill.
