(a) A contract to which this subchapter applies must require that:
(1) the contracting Medicaid managed care organization's usages of out-of-network providers or groups of out-of-network providers may not exceed limits the commission determines for those usages relating to total inpatient admissions, total outpatient services, and emergency room admissions; and
(2) the organization reimburse an out-of-network provider for health care services at a rate that is equal to the allowable rate for those services as determined under Sections 32.028 and 32.0281, Human Resources Code, if the commission finds that the organization violated Subdivision (1).
(b) In accordance with Subsection (a)(2), a Medicaid managed care organization must reimburse an out-of-network provider of poststabilization services for providing the services at the allowable rate for those services until the organization arranges for the recipient's timely transfer, as the recipient's attending physician determines, to a provider in the organization's provider network. The organization may not refuse to reimburse an out-of-network provider for emergency or poststabilization services provided as a result of the organization's failure to arrange for and authorize a recipient's timely transfer. (Gov. Code, Secs. 533.005(a)(11), (12), (b).)
