| IN RE: | HB1929 by Jackson, Jim (Relating to payment of claims of certain out-of-network physicians and health care providers.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Insurance Code to change the claim payments of certain out-of-network physicians and health care providers.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), it is assumed that there would be a one-time revenue gain of $3,700 in the General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 in fiscal year 2010 because the bill would result in additional form filings.
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.
