Reimbursement to a provider of "emergency services," as defined in rule 191- 40.20(514B), shall not be denied by any LSO without that organization's review of the patient's provider history, presenting symptoms, and admitting or initial as well as final diagnosis, submitted by the provider, in determining whether, by definition, emergency services could reasonably have been expected to be provided. Reimbursement for emergency services shall not be denied solely on the grounds that services were performed by a noncontracted provider If reimbursement for emergency services is denied, the enrollee may file a complaint with the LSO as outlined in rule 191-409. (514B). Upon denial of reimbursement for emergency services, the LSO shall notify the enrollee and the provider that they may register a complaint with the commissioner of insurance.
