LD1713

Maine LD1713 prohibits certain clauses in contracts between health care providers and insurance carriers.

Maine LD1713 prohibits health care providers from entering into contracts with insurance carriers that include anti-steering, anti-tiering, or all-or-nothing clauses. These clauses restrict a carrier's ability to direct enrollees to specific providers, modify tiered network plans, or require all members of a provider to be in the same tier. The bill also prohibits requiring a carrier to include all affiliates of a provider in a contract. Starting January 1, 2026, such clauses are unenforceable, and carriers can take civil action for violations.
