TITLE 33 INSURANCE

Section 20. Health Care Plans, 33-20-1 through 33-20-34.

ARTICLE 7 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

33-20-1. Short title.

This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Health Care Plan Act."

(Code 1933, § 56-1700a, enacted by Ga. L. 1976, p. 1461, § 1.)

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.
