An act relating to making modifications affecting many aspects of Vermont’s health care system
This bill proposes significant changes to Vermont's healthcare system, including prohibiting for-profit entities from purchasing healthcare facilities and giving the State Auditor authority to review budgets of entities regulated by the Green Mountain Care Board. It would require prompt payment of medical claims, regulate pay-per-performance models, and limit certain insurance company practices while addressing consumer confusion about Medicare Advantage plans. The legislation also directs Vermont's Attorney General to take legal action against the federal government regarding Medicare and federal healthcare reform initiatives, specifies how excess revenues from nonprofit healthcare entities can be used, and restricts the collection and use of patient data.
