Insurance, Health, Accident - As introduced, removes an obsolete reference to reimbursement requirements related to anatomic pathology services applying to anatomic pathology services billed by gastroenterologists only applying on and after July 1, 2014. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 47; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
HB 2576 removes an outdated billing requirement in Tennessee law that previously restricted reimbursement for certain medical tests (anatomic pathology services) to only gastroenterologists' billing after July 1, 2014. This technical amendment updates multiple sections of the Tennessee Code (Titles 8, 47, 56, 63, 68, and 71) to eliminate the obsolete reference, which no longer applied to any current billing practices. The change directly affects healthcare providers who bill for these services, removing a redundant rule that was no longer relevant. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, streamlining billing regulations without creating new requirements or impacting patient care.
