AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- PRIMARY CARE CONTRACTING GOOD FAITH ACT

Summary

The bill forces commercial insurers, managed‑care organizations and Medicare Advantage plans to hold good‑faith negotiations with any primary‑care physician practice at least once every 24 months, considering costs such as inflation, wages and malpractice premiums. It also bars insurers from refusing to negotiate based on practice size, ownership, patient panel size, or Medicaid volume, and gives the health insurance commissioner oversight authority.
