BILL NUMBER:S6133 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to unauthorized providers of health services PURPOSE: This bill addresses certain abuses of the no-fault insurance system by permitting the Superintendent of insurance (Superintendent) to prohibit a provider of health services from demanding or requesting payment for health services rendered under Article 51 of the Insurance Law for a period not exceeding three years if the Superintendent determines that the provider has engaged in certain activities. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends the lead sentence of Insurance Law § 5102 to specify that the definitions set forth in that section apply only to Article 51 and not the entire Insurance Law. Section 1 also adds new Insurance Law § 5102(a) to specify that the term "provider of health services" means "a person or entity who renders health services." Section 2 amends Insurance Law §§ 5109(a) to define "health services," for purposes of Insurance Law § 5109, as services, supplies, therapies or other treatments as specified in Insurance Law § 5102(a)(1)(i), (ii) or (iv).
