IN RE: | SB380 by Van de Putte (Relating to required disclosures to health benefit plan enrollees regarding professional services provided by certain non-network health care providers.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Insurance Code relating to required disclosures to health benefit plan enrollees regarding professional services provided by certain non-network health care providers.
Based on the analysis the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), it is assumed that there would be a one-time revenue gain of $37,900 in the General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 in fiscal year 2008 because the bill would result in 379 filings, each accompanied by a $100 filing fee. Since General Revenue–Dedicated Account Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis assumes all revenue generated would go toward fund balances or the maintenance tax would be set to recover a lower level of revenue the following year. It is also assumed that any costs realized by TDI from implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
