Relates to the applicability of the independent dispute resolution process to health care services subject to medical assistance program coverage

This bill modifies the state's financial services law to exclude certain health care services from a specific independent dispute resolution process. The change directly affects services covered by medical assistance programs, ensuring they are not subject to the same dispute rules as other health care services. By adding this exclusion, the legislation clarifies that existing laws limiting physician fees for these programs take precedence over the new dispute resolution procedures. The bill applies immediately to any disputes filed on or after its effective date.
