relative to prohibiting insurance companies from conducting an audit of providers services after services have been delivered but before payment has been made to such provider.

HB 706 would prohibit health insurance companies from auditing healthcare providers' services after those services have been delivered but before payment is made to the provider. This directly affects medical providers, such as doctors, clinics, and hospitals, who often face payment delays due to insurer audits. The bill establishes a clear timeline: insurers must process payment first, and audits cannot occur before payment is finalized. It aims to prevent payment delays by restricting insurers from withholding funds during the audit process.
