Georgia Insurance Oversight

What HB 1344 does: A wide-ranging insurance bill that strengthens DOI enforcement authority, insurance fraud penalties, and other areas specific to property and casualty insurance. The bill adds consumer protections for claims processing after disasters and increases penalties for violations by pharmacy benefit managers. The bill’s relevance to health insurance is narrower than its scope suggests, but the PBM enforcement and rate-review expansions have direct implications for Georgia health consumers.
