Senate Bill 2423 amends the Insurance Code to require the operator of a discount health care program, if the operator engages in the transfer or sale of a member's patient information or patient prescription drug history, to provide each prospective member disclosure materials describing those practices before a prospective member is enrolled in the program. The bill provides for enforcement of the disclosure requirement. The bill clarifies that consideration provided to a discount health care program or a discount health care program operator includes patient information or patient prescription drug history provided by members, if the entity engages in the transfer or sale of such information, patient history, or drug manufacturer rebates.
