The bill prohibits insurers from conducting audits of provider services after services are delivered but before payment, with penalties for violations.

  • RSA 415:6-i

    I-a. No insurer may conduct an audit of provider services after services have been delivered but before payment has been made to such provider.

    This adds a new prohibition against insurers auditing services prior to payment.

  • RSA 415:6-i

    (a) In the event that an insurance company performs an audit in violation of this paragraph, the insurer shall: (1) Promptly remit the amount charged by the provider for such services to the provider; (2) Hold the patient harmless for any co-pay or co-insurance obligations with respect to such services; and (3) Remit interest at a rate of 15 percent per annum from the date of service to the date of payment under subparagraph (1) and reimburse the provider for all costs incurred in enforcing this paragraph.

    This establishes penalties for insurers who violate the audit prohibition, ensuring providers get paid and receive interest on delayed payments.

  • RSA 415:6-i

    (b) An insurer found to have violated this paragraph waives any rights to retrospectively review the services for which the impermissible audit was conducted.

    This prevents insurers from retrospectively reviewing claims if they improperly conduct an audit.
