SB 2278 changes reporting requirements for licensed hospitals in Tennessee. It increases the frequency of claims data submissions to the commissioner of health from quarterly to monthly, requiring hospitals to submit data within 60 days after each month ends. This bill amends specific sections of Tennessee Code (Titles 4, 29, 33, 56, 63, 68, and 71) related to health insurance reporting. The direct effect is on hospitals that must now provide more frequent data updates to state health authorities. The change focuses on streamlining the data collection process without altering the underlying health insurance policies.
