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

Added a specific effective date of January 1, 2027, replacing the placeholder text used in the draft version.

Removed procedural draft headers, committee attribution, and placeholder dates that were present in the substitute version.

Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies, such as extra spaces in section headers and duplicate words in the text.

Changed the obligation for submitting additional documentation from a general requirement to accept electronic attachments to a specific requirement that providers may submit compliant electronic information or attachments, while carriers must accept them if they meet federal standards and contract procedures.

Added explicit language stating that carriers are not required to accept electronic information submitted in nonstandard or noncompliant formats where federal standards exist, clarifying the technical requirements for electronic submissions.

Updated the definition of 'Electronic attachment' and related submission rules to distinguish between 'electronic information' and 'electronic attachments,' ensuring clarity on what formats carriers must accept versus those they may reject based on compliance.
