Requires providers to share electronic health records with plans for purposes of improving patient care and reducing administrative delays

This bill requires hospitals and healthcare providers to share complete electronic medical records with insurance plans' utilization review agents. It mandates that records be shared electronically for individual care reviews and claim processing only, not for billing audits or historical analysis. Health plans must prioritize data security, follow privacy laws, and cannot request duplicate information already in the shared records. The law also restricts plans from routinely demanding full medical records or diagnosis codes during reviews, limiting requests to only necessary information. It directly affects hospitals, healthcare providers, and health insurance plans operating in New York.
