The Study Health Bill
Tennessee to study health insurer claim denials
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 10 and Title 56, relative to studying reimbursements under policies of health insurers.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would make a state commission review how often insurers refuse payments and share the results with lawmakers.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the study could reveal patterns of unfair claim denials, helping lawmakers fix problems, but it costs taxpayers and may take time.
