AB 2674 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Health care service plans: disciplinary actions.

Summary

Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care. Existing law prohibits a health care service plan from engaging in an unfair payment pattern, as defined, and requires the department to adopt regulations that ensure that plans have adopted a dispute resolution mechanism, as specified. This bill would require the department to review complaints of unfair payment patterns on or before July 1, 2019, and at least annually thereafter. The bill would authorize the department to conduct an audit or an enforcement action, as specified, if the department determines the complaint review indicates a possible unfair payment pattern.
