Plain-language change summary

The revised version of House Bill 656 includes some clarifications and updates regarding definitions related to managed care services. Notably, the term "enrollee" has been updated to include those enrolled with a "prepaid health plan," which could expand the scope of individuals covered under the bill. Additionally, the definition of "fee-for-service program," which was included in the previous draft but removed, may indicate a shift in focus toward managed care systems without emphasizing this payment model. These changes matter because they refine the language of the bill, impacting how services and coverage are administered and understood in North Carolina.
