Healthy Competition for Better Care Act

Introduced·3/9/26

Healthy Competition for Better Care Act aims to prevent anticompetitive practices in health care contracts.

The Healthy Competition for Better Care Act seeks to enhance competition in health care by prohibiting certain anticompetitive agreements between health care providers and insurers. Specifically, it bans agreements that restrict insurers from directing patients to other providers or offering incentives to use specific providers. Exceptions are made for certain value-based network arrangements, such as exclusive provider networks and accountable care organizations.
