SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health care data reporting. Requires health maintenance organizations (HMOs) to submit Health Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) information or other quality of care or performance information sets approved by the Board of Health to the Commissioner of Health. A nonprofit organization under contract with the Department of Health will be authorized to compile, store, analyze, and evaluate such data. The Commissioner may grant a waiver of the HEDIS or other information set if he determines that the HMO has met Board-approved exemption criteria. The Board will establish a tiered-fee structure based on the number of enrollees of the HMO to cover the costs of collecting, etc., of the data. The fees cannot exceed $3,000 for each HMO. This program is currently set to expire on July 1, 2003.
