Relating to the applicability of mediation requirements for balance billing to certain health benefit plans.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 1530 would allow self-funded insurance plans to participate in the surprise medical bill mediation process operated by the Texas Department of Insurance.
