CT HB06782

Health carriers and participating providers must provide not less than 90 days' written notice of intent to terminate contracts, and upon receipt of such notice, the provider must furnish the carrier a list of affected patients.

If required notice is not provided by either party, the contract shall automatically renew or be extended.

Health carriers must make good faith efforts to notify affected patients no later than 30 days before a provider leaves or is removed from the network.

For hospital contracts entered into or renewed on or after July 1, 2024, both parties must continue abiding by contract terms including reimbursement for 60 days following termination or nonrenewal, unless both parties agree in writing otherwise.

Health carriers must establish procedures for continuity of care for patients in active treatment, including providing lists of alternative providers and allowing continuity periods of up to 90 days (or longer if medically necessary) if the treating provider agrees to maintain the same payment and contract terms.
