SA 1 to SB 12

This Amendment clarifies that a health-care provider may determine that a covered health-care service delivered on an expedited basis is an “urgent health-care service.” In addition, this Amendment provides that any compensation paid to a health-care provider or consulting healthcare provider for review of a clean pre-authorization request submitted by a health-care provider other than a physician, or of an appeal from an adverse determination of such a request, may not be contingent upon the outcome of the review.
