HB 1379 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning health carrier reporting.

HB 1379 requires Washington health insurance companies to annually report their spending on primary care services (like check-ups and preventive care) for previous calendar years or upcoming years. This directly affects health carriers operating in Washington, making their primary care spending data publicly available. The bill mandates that the state insurance commissioner establishes the format for these reports, considering existing definitions and targets for primary care spending. The key change is creating a standardized, public reporting system to increase transparency about how insurers allocate funds for basic medical care.
