Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS ‘‘Any Willing Provider’’ (AWP) statute applied to a health insurer’s preferred provider (PPO) network because: (1) the insurer was an O.C.G.A. T. 33, Ch. 20 health care corporation; (2) the AWP statute expressly applied to health care corporations; and (3) the AWP statute applied to the PPO network since the insurer, under the Preferred Provider Arrangements Act, O.C.G.A. § 33-30-20 et

seq., could administer a preferred provider arrangement which was a health benefit plan. Northeast Ga. Cancer Care, LLC v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Ga., Inc., 315 Ga.
