Minnesota SF3784 establishes an alternative mechanism for prompt payment of emergency and ambulance charges for patients enrolled in very high.

Minnesota SF3784 amends state statutes to provide an alternative mechanism for prompt payment of emergency and ambulance charges for patients enrolled in very high deductible health plans. The bill requires health plan companies to pay these charges directly to hospitals or ambulance services within 15 days if the charges are not payable due to the enrollee not having satisfied the annual deductible. The bill also mandates that health plan companies comply with the same restrictions that apply to healthcare providers in collecting charges from patients.
