SB 1049: Health care claims reimbursement.

This bill proposes to amend existing health and insurance laws in California. It requires health care service plans and insurers to reimburse claims within a certain timeframe. If a claim is denied, the plan or insurer can request a corrected claim from the provider, which must be submitted within 90 days. The bill prohibits denying a corrected claim based on a missed claim filing deadline. This change aims to prevent willful violations of the law, which would be considered a crime. The state will be responsible for reimbursing local agencies and school districts for the costs associated with implementing this law.
