HB1279

Indiana HB1279 regulates the collection of cost sharing by insurers for health care services.

Indiana HB1279 mandates that insurers pay health care providers the full amount due, including any cost sharing, and have sole responsibility for collecting cost sharing from covered individuals. Insurers must collect cost sharing in increments defined by them upon request. The bill prohibits insurers from withholding amounts from payments to providers, requiring additional discounts, denying or delaying payments due to failure to collect cost sharing, or requiring others to collect cost sharing on their behalf.
