Health insurance claims; electronic attachments accepted, delayed effective date.

The document header was updated from 'HOUSE SUBSTITUTE' to 'ENROLLED' and added a chapter title, indicating the bill has passed its final legislative stages.

Section citations (e.g., § 38.2-3407.10) were standardized to include a non-breaking space between the section number and the statute code for consistent formatting.

Changed the requirement for submitting additional documentation from a mandate to use electronic attachments to an option where providers may submit electronically and carriers must accept compliant electronic submissions, removing the previous restriction that carriers could not require paper.

Added language clarifying that carriers must accept electronic information or attachments if they meet federal standards and provider contract procedures, but are not required to accept non-compliant formats.

Extended the effective date of the act from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.

Updated the definition of 'electronic attachment' and related terms to align with the new language allowing electronic submission of information and attachments.

The document structure was altered to include extra spacing and a 'House Substitute' header, while the actual legal text of the bill remains identical.
