TDI Issues Hurricane Dolly Notice

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has ordered HMOs and other insurers to waive penalties and restrictions on patients when they obtain necessary emergency and nonemergency services as a result of Hurricane Dolly.

TDI also said insurers should not deny payment for necessary emergency and nonemergency health and dental services that are obtained out of network and reminded payers that they are to extend claim-filing deadlines as directed under the state insurance code.
