Requires providers to share electronic health records with plans to improve patient care and reduce administrative delays.

New York S05456 amends the public health law and the insurance law to require providers to share electronic health records with health plans. This sharing aims to improve patient care and reduce administrative delays. The bill specifies that these records must be used exclusively for individual claim/care review and adjudication, and not for auditing or detecting billing patterns. Health plans must prioritize safeguarding patient data and may not seek additional information already available in electronic medical records. The bill takes effect immediately.
