- Description
Under existing law, the Access to Eye Care Act requires an insurance policy, plan, or contract which provides for third-party payments for health care to include payment to a licensed eye care provider if the plan covers the same service provided by other providers. The law also regulates certain provisions in the insurance policies, plans, or contracts.
This bill would amend the Access to Eye Care Act requirements to prohibit an insurance policy, plan, or contract from requiring an eye care provider to purchase a certain minimum quantity or minimum dollar amount of ophthalmic materials in order to participate in the insurance plan.
