Insurance Commissioner Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Ambulance Reimbursement Law

Latest News

Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit aimed at blocking the implementation of H.B. 1489, a law requiring health insurance companies to reimburse ambulance services for previously unpaid treatments. This law, set to take effect on July 1, was challenged by the Mississippi Association of Health Plans, which claims it could drive up healthcare costs due to its vague language. Chaney argues that the association lacks standing to sue and cites sovereign immunity, asserting that the lawsuit is premature since he has not yet acted on the law. The lawsuit contends that the legislation could entail significant financial impacts on insurance providers and indirectly on consumers.
