An Act relative to unilateral contract changes
This bill prohibits health insurance companies from including clauses in contracts with healthcare providers that allow termination without cause or unilateral changes to key terms like payment rates, covered services, or quality policies. It requires insurers to provide written notice of any proposed changes at least 90 days before the contract renewal date, with changes only taking effect after the current contract term ends. The state health insurance commission must also avoid purchasing policies from insurers that violate these rules. The law directly affects healthcare providers (doctors, clinics, hospitals) and insurers by increasing contract stability and transparency.
