prohibiting health carriers from establishing payment or reimbursement provisions based solely on a participating advanced practice registered nurse's licensure.

This law prohibits health insurance companies from setting payment rates for advanced practice registered nurses based only on their professional license. Starting January 1, 2025, insurers must consider other factors beyond licensure when determining reimbursement amounts for these nurses. The change ensures that nurse compensation is not automatically reduced solely because they hold a specific type of license. Health carriers and advanced practice registered nurses are the primary groups directly affected by this new requirement.
