Relating to establishment of a shared savings program for certain managed care plans.
HB 5099 establishes a shared savings program requiring certain health benefit plans (like HMOs, PPOs, and basic coverage plans) to disclose average contracted rates for health care services. The bill mandates that plan issuers create a toll-free number and online portal so enrollees can request these rates for specific services from the previous year. It also requires out-of-network providers to give enrollees written cost estimates for proposed services. The program applies only to nonemergency care covered under these specific plans, directly affecting health benefit issuers, enrollees, and health care providers.
