Creates provisions relating to conduct affecting health care provider networks
Second Read and Referred S Insurance and Banking Committee
Summary
The bill bars health care providers from offering, signing, or renewing contracts with general contracting entities that contain anti‑steering, anti‑tiering, gag, or most‑favored‑nation provisions. Any such clause in a provider network contract is declared void, while the rest of the contract remains enforceable. It also requires health benefit plan issuers to act in good faith when encouraging enrollees to use particular providers.
