Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would impact all health insurance enrollees by giving them the choice to receive EOB statements electronically, potentially improving convenience and reducing paper waste. Health insurers would be required to update their systems and processes to accommodate electronic EOB delivery.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Health and Human Services committee and its next steps would be a committee hearing, potential amendments, and a vote by the full legislature.
