An Act Concerning Participating Provider Directories

One of the bills passed at the end of the legislative session was An Act Concerning Participating Provider Directories and Providers Accepting New Patients on an Outpatient Services Basis. The bill will require that each health care carrier disclose whether a health care provider listed in the carrier’s participating provider directory is accepting new patients on an outpatient services basis. We assume that if you are a provider for one or more insurers that you will be receiving a request verifying whether you are accepting new patients. The bill, if signed by the Governor, will take effect January 1, 2018.
