California physicians work every day to provide high-quality care for their patients. They should not have to worry about unnecessary payment delays that create financial uncertainty, increase administrative burdens, and take valuable time away from patient care.

A.B. 2499 (Health Care Coverage: Claims Payment) would help ensure physicians are paid promptly for clean claims, improve transparency throughout the claims process, and strengthen accountability when payments are delayed.

We encourage you to contact your California State Senator and ask them to support A.B. 2499 by advancing it out of the Senate Health Committee, bringing it to the Senate floor for a vote, and voting in favor of its final passage. Timely reimbursement helps keep physician practices strong and protects patients' access to the care they need.
