Requiring carriers to provide substantive notice to health care providers and health care facilities about significant contract modifications.
HB 2106 requires health insurance carriers to provide healthcare providers and facilities with clear, 90-day advance notice of major contract changes that affect payments or services. The notice must detail the specific financial impact, exact language of the change, and allow providers to accept or reject it without disrupting their existing contracts. If carriers fail to follow these rules, the proposed changes become void, and providers can reject modifications without penalty. This bill directly affects insurers and healthcare facilities by mandating transparency for significant changes like payment rate cuts, new billing rules, or service restrictions.
