Rhode Island S3028 prohibits healthcare providers and health plans from denying medical bill payments due to third-party claims.
Rhode Island S3028 amends state laws to prohibit healthcare providers and health plans from denying the payment of a medical bill solely because it may have arisen from a third-party claim. This applies to claims other than workers' compensation claims. The bill also mandates that healthcare entities and health plans must pay all complete claims for covered healthcare services within specified timeframes. If a claim is denied or pended, the entity or plan must notify the provider or policyholder within 30 days of the reasons and any additional information required.
