Text

(a) An employee health plan that provides

program a monthly fee established by the division of disability and
rehabilitative services. Except when the monthly fee is less than the
product determined under IC 12-12.7-2-23(b), the monthly fee shall be
provided instead of claims processing of individual claims.
(b) An employee health plan may not require authorization for
services specified in the covered individual's individualized family
service plan, if those services are a covered benefit under the plan,
once the individualized family service plan is signed by a physician, an
advanced practice registered nurse, or a physician assistant.
(c) The department of insurance shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2
to ensure compliance with this section.
