HB 1113 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Medical providers and medical malpractice insurers; prohibit consent to arbitration as a condition for care or insurance.

HB 1113 prohibits medical providers (including doctors, dentists, and nurse practitioners) and medical malpractice insurers from requiring patients or healthcare providers to agree to arbitration as a condition for receiving medical care or insurance coverage. The bill makes it illegal for providers to tie treatment to arbitration agreements and for insurers to tie coverage to such agreements, with violations potentially leading to license suspension for providers or insurance violations for insurers. It defines "medical provider" broadly and amends existing laws to align with these prohibitions. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
