Prohibits certain requirements in insurance contracts
Bill S 7577 prohibits certain requirements in contracts between health insurers, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), and healthcare providers. It prevents contracts from requiring insurers to include all members of a provider group in their networks, place them in the same network tier, or include them in all products. The bill also bans "most-favored-nation" clauses and prevents contracts from limiting the disclosure of service fees or allowed amounts to insured individuals. These provisions aim to affect how provider networks are structured and how pricing information is shared, with compliance beginning January 1, 2026.
