Keith R. Herman", "committee": "Commerce", "vote_yeas": 9, "vote_nays": 8, "text": "This is the Governor's \"HMO Accountability Act.\" The bill, as sent over from the Senate, contained four separate parts, each designed to provide consumers with information and tools necessary to ensure they receive adequate, timely health care services from HMO insurance companies. These four sections are: 1.) Requiring all medical directors employed by an HMO to hold a valid New Hampshire physician's license. 2.) Providing for an independent external grievance procedure for cases where an HMO has denied payment for a covered benefit. 3.) Prohibiting any contract between an insurance carrier and a physician from containing a financial inducement to deny necessary care. 4.) Defining a decision not to pay for a specific health service or drug as \"The Practice of Medicine.\" The Commerce Committee believes strongly that consumers are entitled to receive any care necessary to maintain and improve their health conditions. The consumer should also receive those services without having to worry if their insurance company will pay for them as long as the service is a covered benefit. (No one is entitled to services without paying for those services.) To acknowledge these and other concerns the Commerce Committee has passed an amendment to SB 199, which includes aspects of all four sections of the original bill. The committee worked in a bipartisan fashion to improve the language and simplify the processes of the original bill. The amendment requires an HMO to have a medical director who is licensed to practice medicine in New Hampshire. The amendment creates an independent external review process with oversight by the New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner. The amendment prohibits financial inducements in contracts between doctors and insurance companies. The amendment requires notification and disclosure to consumers of all their rights and obligations under this chapter. The amendment subjects any medical director who is overturned by an independent review organization to scrutiny by the Insurance Commissioner and two national accreditation boards which establish standards for utilization review decisions. The amendment creates a statutory study committee to develop guidelines for the board of medicine to use when determining whether a medical director exhibits a pattern of practice to be investigated by the board. The amendment adds a \"hold harmless\" clause so patients aren't responsible for the cost of care while going through the grievance process. The amendment reorganizes the bill to make RSA references easier to find and follow. The Governor testified during the public hearing the costs (increases in health insurance premiums) of this bill would not exceed $2 per month per covered person. This would translate into a $720,000 increase in cost to the state employees' health benefit. (There are approximately 30,000 state-covered lives when you consider spouses and dependents.) The committee amendment would still cause premiums to rise, but by less than half of the Governor's estimated cost. The only major portion of the original bill not included in the amendment is the expansion of the definition of \"Practice of Medicine.\" RSA 329:1 currently defines the practice of medicine as a diagnosis, treatment, performance of surgery, or prescription of any treatment for any disease or human ailment. The committee simply does not agree that a \"determination which denies authorization or payment for a covered service\" can be interpreted as fitting the intent of the current definition of practice of medicine. The committee agrees that a medical director should be responsible for decisions, which result in harm to the patient, just as all other licensed physicians are currently. The original bill however, would have a medical director responsible for simply enforcing an insurance company policy which recommends one treatment over another regardless of the impact on the patient. There is no requirement harm is done, simply refusing to pay would be sufficient to trigger the responsibility and liability provisions in the original bill. This is inconsistent with the public health intent of the current definition in RSA 329:1. The committee feels the amendment more accurately reflects the public policy statement that consumers should have access to care, which is paid for, without having to be concerned about insurance company reimbursement. The amendment accomplishes this by creating a process by which a medical director can be subjected to discipline (like all other physicians) for exhibiting a pattern of practice, which denies medically necessary care to patients. The minority simply refuses to accept this process and is only willing to accept the definition change included in the original bill. The minority is willing to disregard the hard work put into creating an improved bill with bipartisan agreement on the changes the amendment makes. The committee knows the amendment effectively takes care of all the public policy concerns addressed by the Governor's original bill. Having a medical director be licensed in New Hampshire and having that medical director's adverse determinations subject to review and scrutiny are enough to ensure consumer protection and will not unreasonably increase the costs of insurance. Only five states require licensure by statute. NO OTHER STATE defines an adverse determination as the practice of medicine. This is not about being able to sue your HMO. New Hampshire repealed its corporate practice of medicine doctrine in 1995. Under current New Hampshire law, an HMO can be sued. The House previously passed HB 640-FN, which dealt with an external grievance procedure. The committee was willing to disregard this established House position in order to make improvements which all could agree on. Those improvements will not be reflected if the committee amendment is not accepted."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Martha Fuller Clark", "committee": "Commerce", "text": "The 9-8 vote for SB 199, the HMO Accountability Act, is the result of a fundamental difference within the Commerce Committee. The amended version omits part 2 from the original bill as passed in the Senate on a 20-4 vote. This section expands the definition of the practice of medicine to include medical directors. This statutory language clarifies that when medical directors are denying covered care on the basis of medical necessity, they are practicing medicine. The principal reason an HMO hires a physician as a medical director to make determinations of coverage is because they are using their medical expertise in rendering such decisions. Therefore, they should be held to the same standard of accountability and review as any other doctor. Without the language in part 2 of the original bill, this can not happen. Additionally, the original bill retains a grievance process which is more favorable to the consumer, despite the fact that certain improvements to the process of external grievance are contained in the amendment. The minority believes that these improvements are not of such importance that the underlying need for medical director accountability should be sacrificed in the process. Consumers need the grievance process to hold HMO's accountable and the New Hampshire Board of Medicine needs the statutory language to hold medical directors accountable. This bill should be passed in its entirety as it came to the House from the Senate if the Legislature is to enact significant HMO reform."}], "source": "House Calendar 68, 1999", "date": "1999-06-25", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 68", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C1999%5CNo%2068%20June%2025%201999.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "1999-05-19", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Insurance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS W/AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "", "cite_url": ""}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Insurance", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Commerce", "senate_committee": "Insurance", "lsr": "1999-1002", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1002&sy=1999&txtsessionyear=1999&txtbillnumber=sb199&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=1002&sy=1999&txtsessionyear=1999&txtbillnumber=sb199&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1002&sy=1999&txtsessionyear=1999&txtbillnumber=sb199&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 32, page 11", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C1999%5CSC%2032.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 68", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C1999%5CNo%2068%20June%2025%201999.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [], "billtext": {"version": "As amended by the house", "title": "", "analysis": "This bill creates an independent external consumer appeal process to review certain determinations made by managed care entities.

Failure by the health carrier or the covered person to provide the documents and information required in paragraph III within the specified time frame shall not delay the conduct of the external review.\n\nV. The selected independent review organization shall review all of the information and documents received from the carrier pursuant to paragraph III and any other information submitted by the covered person or the covered person's authorized representative or treating provider pursuant to RSA 420-J:5-b, IV(a) and any testimony provided. In addition to the information provided by the health carrier and the covered person or the covered person's authorized representative or treating provider, the independent review organization may consider any applicable, generally accepted clinical practice guidelines, studies or research, including those developed or conducted by the federal government, national or professional medical societies, boards and associations. The independent review organization shall consider anew all previously determined facts, allow the introduction of new information, and make a decision that is not bound by decisions or conclusions made by the health carrier during internal review.\n\nVI. The selected independent review organization shall render a decision upholding or reversing the determination of the health carrier and notify the covered person or the covered person's authorized representative and the health carrier in writing within 20 days of the date that any new or additional information from the covered person is due pursuant to RSA 420-J:5-b, IV(a). This notice shall include a written review decision that contains a statement of the nature of the grievance, references to evidence or documentation considered in making the decision, findings of fact, and the clinical and legal rationale for the decision, including, as applicable, clinical review criteria and rulings of law.\n\nVII. Expedited external review shall be conducted as follows:\n\n(a) Expedited external review shall be available when the covered person's treating health care provider certifies to the commissioner that adherence to the time frames specified in RSA 420-J:5-b and 420-J:5-c, I, II, III, IV, V and VI would seriously jeopardize the life or health of the covered person or would jeopardize the covered person's ability to regain maximum function.\n\n(b) Except to the extent that it is inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph, all requirements for the conduct of standard external review specified in RSA 420-J:5-b and 420-J:5-c, I, II, III, IV, V and VI shall apply to expedited external review.\n\n(c) At the time the commissioner receives a request for an expedited external review, the commissioner shall immediately make a determination whether the request meets the standard set forth in subparagraph VII (a) for expedited external review, as well as the reviewability requirements set forth in RSA 420-J:5-b, I. If these conditions are met, the commissioner shall immediately notify the health carrier. If the request is not complete, the commissioner shall immediately contact the covered person or the covered person's authorized representative and attempt to obtain the information or documents that are needed to make the request complete.\n\n(d) The health carrier shall select an independent review organization that is certified pursuant to RSA 420-J:5-d, I to conduct the expedited external review. If an independent review organization is not selected to conduct the review by the health carrier, the commissioner shall select an independent review organization that has been certified pursuant to RSA 420-J:5-d, I to conduct the review.\n\n(e) The health carrier or its designated utilization review organization shall provide or transmit the documents and information specified in paragraph III to the selected independent review organization by telephone, facsimile or any other available expeditious method within one business day of receiving the commissioner's notice of the request for expedited external review pursuant to subparagraph VII(c).\n\n(f) When handling a review on an expedited basis, the selected independent review organization shall make a decision and notify the carrier and the covered person as expeditiously as the covered person's medical condition requires, but in no event more than 72 hours after the expedited external review is requested.\n\n(g) If the notice provided pursuant to subparagraph VII(f) was not in writing, within 2 business days after the date of providing that notice, the selected independent review organization shall:\n\n(1) Provide written confirmation of the decision to the covered person or the covered person's authorized representative and the health carrier; and\n\n(2) Include the information set forth in paragraph VI\n\n(h) An expedited external review shall not be provided for determinations made by the health carrier on a retrospective basis.\n\n(i) A covered person shall not be held liable to either the health plan, the hospital, the physician, or the services provider for the cost of services in excess of the applicable copayment, coinsurance, or deductible incurred, pending the independent review organization's determination of an expediated external review.\n\nVIII. The health carrier against which a request for external review is filed shall pay the cost of the external review, such costs shall not exceed $1,500. The commissioner shall notify the independent review organizations of the cost limitation for conducting an external review. The cost for an external review may exceed $1,500 if the commissioner determines an additional cost is necessary to ensure the fair adjudication of the case in question.\n\nIX. An independent review organization shall maintain all standards of confidentiality. The records and internal materials prepared for specific reviews by an independent review organization under this section shall be exempt from public disclosure under RSA 91-A.\n\nX.
