LD1785

Maine LD1785 mandates health insurance carriers to provide contact information for employees negotiating health care provider contracts.

Maine LD1785 requires health insurance carriers to include an increase in compensation for health care services in contracts with individual or group practices not affiliated with a hospital. The compensation must reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The bill prohibits carriers from reducing fees for services covered under a contract for any reason other than changes to national relative value unit standards. The law also mandates that carriers offer contact information for employees responsible for negotiating health care provider contracts.
