LAC 37:XIII.6001. Purpose

A. The purpose of this regulation is to implement the statutory requirements of health insurance issuers under Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 establishes the statutory requirements for payment of claims by health insurance issuers serving residents of Louisiana. The statutory requirements establish the intent of the legislature to assure that residents with health care coverage are not billed for liabilities of health insurance. B. To carry out the intent of the legislature and assure full compliance with the provisions of applicable statutory requirements, this regulation sets forth the standards for payment of claims by health insurance issuers and supercedes current regulations on uniform claim forms.
