Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to HB 986 clarify that insurance companies and health care facilities cannot use a patient's social security number for identification or in any mailings, unless required by federal law. The bill now defines "health care facility" and "health care provider," ensuring that it applies to both hospitals and long-term care facilities, as well as individual healthcare professionals. This matters because it aims to enhance patient privacy and protect sensitive information from unnecessary exposure, reducing the risk of identity theft.
