HB 530 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to health care provider participation in health insurance plans

HB 530 prohibits health insurance plans and issuers from discriminating against healthcare providers based on their state license or scope of practice. It requires equal reimbursement rates for the same medical service when provided within a provider’s licensed scope, applying to all health insurance plans in the state. The law allows insurers to set different rates based on quality or performance metrics but enforces federal nondiscrimination standards under Section 2706 of the Public Health Service Act. This directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and clinics) and insurers operating in the state’s health insurance market.
