Sponsor:  Shoemyer

This bill requires health insurance carriers and health benefit
plans to include in their service provider networks any durable
medical equipment provider who has a main office located in a
Missouri community with a population of 25,000 or less, is
certified by the Missouri State Board of Pharmacy and as a
Medicare and/or Medicaid provider, and registers with the
Department of Insurance as an eligible durable medical equipment
provider.  The department must verify the eligibility of the
provider's registration and make the durable medical equipment
provider registry available to all health carriers and health
benefit plans licensed to do business in Missouri.
