SB 2457 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 2457 removes an outdated billing rule from Tennessee healthcare laws that previously restricted reimbursement for anatomic pathology services to only gastroenterologists' claims. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code (Titles 8, 47, 56, 63, 68, and 71) to delete this obsolete reference, which had applied only to gastroenterologists' billing for these services. This technical correction simplifies the law by eliminating redundant language that no longer had practical effect. The change affects how healthcare providers bill for anatomic pathology services under state insurance regulations. The bill takes effect upon becoming law.
