Requires health insurance carriers to inform new covered persons about in-network primary care physicians and encourage those without one to obtain.
This bill mandates that health insurance carriers provide new covered persons with contact information for all in-network primary care physicians within 30 days of coverage start. Additionally, if a covered person does not have a primary care physician, the carrier must send a notice every six months to encourage them to obtain one. This aims to ensure covered persons have a regular physician to consult and to ease dependence on urgent care facilities or emergency rooms.
