Health Insurance - Vision Benefits - Regulation of Insurers and Vision Benefit Managers

Summary

The bill requires any insurer or vision‑benefit manager that offers a vision plan or discount plan in Maryland to post detailed transparency information on its website and in communications to enrollees and eye‑care providers. It also sets rules for how these entities can contract with optometrists and ophthalmologists, including limits on fee‑for‑service and capitated arrangements. The goal is to give consumers and providers clearer insight into who runs the plans and to prevent unfair contract terms.
