Health care coverage: antisteering.

Summary

The bill adds new rules that forbid health‑care service plans, health insurers and pharmacy‑benefit managers from requiring patients to use particular pharmacies or providers for oral, injected or infused medications when a clinician deems another setting medically appropriate. It also requires providers to get patient consent and give a good‑faith cost‑share estimate if the administration location changes. Violations would be criminal offenses, but the bill did not become law.
