Hello colleagues,
Can anyone offer any ideas on this issue? Under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) , can an insurance carrier deny coverage for a specific provider after being acquired from another company or after converting from a health insurance company to an HMO?.
I have checked the Act, the U.S. Code (both of these in print and on the Internet). I have searched in the Federal Register and CFR online also. So far, I am not coming up with any reference to this. In addition, we have checked some Web sites that deal specifically with HIPAA without any real success.
I have not yet done a Westlaw or Lexis search. Is this one of those not-so-clearly defined kind of issues or am I just missing something really obvious. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Anita
