TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
44-7-395 SO AS TO REQUIRE HOSPITALS AND OTHER MEDICAL PROVIDERS TO FILE AN 
INSURANCE CLAIM WITH A PATIENT'S HEALTH INSURER FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL 
COSTS AND EXPENSES.

 Amend Title To Conform

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 3, Chapter 7, Title 44 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 44-7-395. Hospitals, healthcare facilities, and other 
medical providers who have provided treatment or another service to an insured 
patient for a personal injury must initiate the claim's process with the 
patient's primary health insurer within thirty days of providing the treatment 
or service. Failure to submit the claim in accordance with this section 
constitutes a forfeiture of the provider's right to reimbursement. Nothing in 
this section shall be construed to prevent a provider from seeking 
reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid as permissible by law.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
