Minnesota HF3055 allows insurers to provide explanation of benefits electronically to patients.

Minnesota HF3055 amends state statutes to allow insurers to provide explanation of benefits electronically to patients. Group purchasers can offer electronic versions if they provide clear instructions for patients to choose between paper and electronic formats. Patients who do not choose will receive a paper version. The electronic version must use the same data elements and definitions as the paper version. The changes apply to all health care services delivered in Minnesota, except for capitated payments. The bill's requirements are effective June 30, 2007.
