SB 2703 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Eye care services and materials for patients; provide requirements for insurers and vision benefit managers.

SB 2703 requires insurers and vision benefit managers to clearly disclose covered eye care services and materials in insurance policies, directly affecting patients, eye care providers (like optometrists), and insurers. Key provisions mandate transparency about coverage, prohibit unilateral changes to provider contracts, ban the use of "extrapolation" (a specific auditing method), and allow providers to use any lab or supplier. The bill also prohibits coercive tactics by insurers and gives providers a legal right to sue if their rights are violated. Enforcement will be handled by Mississippi’s Commissioner of Insurance and Attorney General.
