Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 333 amends the Insurance Code to extend to the possessory conservator of a child the same rights in seeking group health insurance reimbursement as the managing conservator. The act allows the possessory conservator to seek reimbursement directly from the managing conservator's insurer or group hospital plan without being a member of the insurance plan. The act provides that requirements imposed on a possessory conservator do not apply in the case of any unpaid medical bills for which a valid assignment of benefits has been exercised.
