The ability of insured dependents and other insured members to receive confidential sensitive health care services without the knowledge of the insured policyholder is greatly impeded through traditional billing processes utilized by health insurers. The most frequent form used is an explanation of benefit (EOB) sent to the policyholder after anyone covered under the policy receives care. The lack of confidentiality for sensitive health care services can often result in insured members simply avoiding necessary health care.

An Act To Amend Titles 18, 29, And 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Common Summary Payment Forms And Protection Of Sensitive Health Care Services.
