AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HEALTH INSURANCE.

This legislation provides for network disclosure and transparency for insured individuals who may be provided non-emergency health care services from an out-of-network provider. The legislation states that an insured must be notified that a provider or facility may be an out-of-network provided or facility and given notice that the services may not be covered by an insured’s health insurance plan. The legislation also requires health insurance companies maintain up to date and comprehensive provider directories. This legislation is modeled after the out-of-network language set forth National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s Health Benefit Plan Network Access and Adequacy Model Act.
