| This bill requires health care providers to notify insurers of |
assignments of benefits and insurers to pay health care providers |
directly when they have received notice of assignments of |
benefits. If after receiving notice of an assignment of benefits |
an insurer pays an insured's claim, the insurer must still pay |
the related claim of the health care provider. An assignment of |
benefits can not be revoked or amended without the written |
permission of the health care provider. |
