California Insurance Enters Rugged 2021 Legislative and Regulatory Terrain | Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: California lawmakers proposing changes in the state’s insurance laws face their first significant hurdles in the next two weeks. These bills must be set, heard and passed by the Insurance Committee in their house by May 7 (or sooner) to meet house of origin deadlines or risk becoming a two-year bill meaning the bill will not come up for consideration again until 2022. The California Department of Insurance (CDI), the state’s primary insurance regulator, is also commencing its own review of new regulatory proposals, making this and the next few months a particularly important time for California’s insurers. Here Manatt provides a snapshot of various insurance policy proposals that will be at the forefront of legislative and regulatory deliberations this year.

Statewide MPN Morphs Into MPN Study

05/13/21 The concept of a statewide MPN (Medical Provider Network) is dead for the foreseeable future. The California Medical Provider Network (CAMPN) was originally proposed under Assembly Bill 1465, sponsored by California Assembly members Eloise Reyes and Lorena Gonzalez. The proposal would have required the California Division of Workers Compensation to build out a statewide physician network which injured workers could have accessed as an alternative to the MPN used by their employer or employer s insurer or TPA. The impetus for the bill? For years applicant attorneys have cited anecdotal problems with obtaining treatment for workers under MPNs. The AB 1465 proposal came under heavy fire from employers and insurers. An April 2021 study by the California Workers Compensation Institute (see link below) raised questions about the need for the proposal and the feasibility of it.

California s Cavalcade of Presumptions Bill for Healthcare Workers

04/19/21 Robert Wilson Last week we had the opportunity to opine on the “Silly Season of Legislative Activity” by discussing California s thoroughly misguided AB 1465, which would require the administrative director of the state s workers compensation system to establish a statewide medical provider network called the California Medical Provider Network. It is a horrible idea that will provide no foreseeable benefits to employers or their injured workers, but it is not the only terrible idea being considered in the Golden State. They also are considering SB 213, a bill that takes the recent trend for automatic first responder presumptions and expands it to health care workers.

Institute Analyzes Impact of California Medical Provider Network Option for Workers

Institute Analyzes Impact of California Medical Provider Network Option for Workers April 16, 2021 Legislation intended to increase injured California workers’ access to medical care by requiring the state to create a medical provider network as an alternative to private networks that render 90% of California workers’ compensation treatment would significantly increase medical costs and require millions of dollars in ongoing administrative and infrastructure expense, a California Workers’ Compensation Institute analysis finds. Assembly Bill 1465 would require the administrative director of the state’s workers’ compensation system to establish a statewide medical provider network, called the California Medical Provider Network, and give employees the choice to treat within their employer’s MPN or the CAMPN.
