The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 686 — Health Insurance - Carrier Provider Panels - Participation
by Providers.
This bill requires a health insurance carrier that uses a provider panel to maintain
standards in accordance with specified regulations if the carrier is an insurer,
nonprofit health service plan, or dental plan organization; requires a health
insurance carrier that uses a provider panel to establish procedures to verify with
each provider on the carrier's provider panel at specified times whether the provider
is accepting new patients; and updates specified information on participating
providers.
House Bill 1003, which was passed by the General Assembly and allowed to go into
effect without my signature, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not
necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 686.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
