Missouri HB1965 modifies provisions relating to athletic trainers and payment processes for health care services. The bill repeals and replaces sections 376.427 and 376.1575, defining terms such as "health benefit plan," "health care services," and "credentialing." It mandates that insurers issue payment instruments in the name of the provider upon receipt of an assignment of benefits and requires claims to be paid within thirty days. The bill also specifies that payment for services from out-of-network providers must be made directly to the providers when authorized by the health carrier.
