Sec. 368c. Remittance advice and procedures.
(a)A remittance advice shall be furnished to a health care professional or health care provider that identifies the disposition of each claim. The remittance advice shall identify the services billed; the patient responsibility, if any; the actual payment, if any, for the services billed; and the reason for any reduction to the amount for which the claim was submitted. For any reductions to the amount for which the claim was submitted, the remittance shall identify any withholds and the reason for any denial or reduction.
A remittance advice for capitation or prospective payment arrangements shall be furnished to a health care professional or health care provider pursuant to a contract with an insurer, health maintenance organization, independent practice association, or physician hospital organization in accordance with the terms of the contract.
(b)When health care services are provided by a non-participating health care professional or health care provider, an insurer, health maintenance organization, independent practice association, or physician hospital organization may pay for covered services either to a patient directly or to the non-participating health care professional or health care provider.
(c)When a person presents a benefits information card, a health care professional or health care provider shall make a good faith effort to inform the person if the health care professional or health care provider has a participation contract with the insurer, health maintenance organization, or other entity identified on the card.
