Contractual provisions prohibition between hospitals and health plan companies
This Minnesota bill prohibits hospitals from including specific restrictive clauses in contracts with health insurance companies. It defines and bans provisions that limit how insurers steer patients to providers, structure network tiers, share price information, or negotiate reimbursement rates. Any contract containing these prohibited terms becomes unenforceable, though the rest of the agreement remains valid. The law applies to new agreements, amendments, and renewals between hospitals and health plan companies.
