Insurance: health insurers; discrimination against a health care provider who is acting within the scope of that provider’s license or certification; prohibit. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406jj.

This bill prohibits health insurance companies in Michigan from discriminating against licensed healthcare providers who are acting within the scope of their professional licenses. While insurers must not unfairly exclude these providers from their policies, the law does not force them to contract with every willing provider or to pay the same reimbursement rates to all. The legislation defines discrimination based on existing federal standards and clarifies that "health professional" includes anyone authorized to practice under the state's public health code.
