HB1875

Missouri HB1875 mandates health care providers to notify patients of their out-of-network status before providing nonemergency care.

Missouri HB1875 amends Chapter 376 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 376.683. This section requires health care providers to determine if a patient is covered under a health benefit plan and if the provider is in-network before offering nonemergency care. The bill defines terms such as "emergency medical condition," "health benefit plan," "health care provider," "health care service," and "nonemergency care." The requirements of this section are supplementary to federal laws, including the federal No Surprises Act.
