SB 742 amends various sections of the Health and Safety Code and the Insurance Code to improve the adequacy and oversight of managed care plan networks. It expands the authority of the Office of Public Insurance Counsel (OPIC) to monitor and advocate for the adequacy of managed care networks by reviewing filings and waivers, addressing network access issues, and requiring consumer report cards to objectively compare the quality, accessibility, and performance of managed care plans. The bill also grants OPIC the authority to intervene in regulatory proceedings and recommend targeted market conduct examinations. The changes aim to enhance transparency and consumer protection.
