title: More Than a Misprint.
abstract: A new TMA-backed law calls on health plans to clean up their network directories to ensure patients have the most up-to-date information on which physicians are in their plans. House Bill 1624 by Rep. John Smithee (R-Amarillo) requires health plans to post their directories online, update them monthly--versus quarterly under old rules--and promptly respond to and correct reports of inaccuracies.
