CHAPTER 21. TRADE PRACTICES
SUBCHAPTER T. SUBMISSION OF CLEAN
CLAIMS
The Texas Department of Insurance proposes to amend 28
TAC 21.2821, concerning reporting requirements, and to
repeal 21.2824, concerning applicability. The amendments
to 21.2821 expand the claims-related data elements that a
managed care carrier (MCC) must report to the department on
a quarterly basis and require electronic reporting of these data
elements in order to determine carrier compliance with Insur-
ance Code 843.342 and 1301.137. The repeal of 21.2824
removes outdated rule language.PROPOSED RULES November 27, 2020 45 TexReg 8483
