What changed in the latest version
39 added · 41 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill SB 536 clarify the responsibilities of in-network health care providers in Virginia when submitting claims for Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. The changes explicitly define what constitutes a "health care policy" and specify which types of coverage are included or excluded. This matters because it helps ensure that eligible individuals and their families receive the health services they need without confusion over whether their claims will be honored, thereby potentially improving access to care.
