SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Office of Managed Care Ombudsman.  Requires the Office of the Managed Care Ombudsman, upon reviewing the insurance and health records of a covered person, to present a recommendation regarding whether health care services or benefits for the covered person are covered under the managed care health insurance plan.  If the Office recommends that the plan covers such services or benefits and the carrier continues to deny coverage for such services or benefits, the denial may be considered by a court as evidence of bad faith.
