Minnesota HF4992 requires health carriers to offer reference-based pricing health plans, which set fixed prices for services rather than negotiating with providers. It prohibits open-ended promise-to-pay contracts, which obligate patients to pay for services without prior disclosure of the amount. The bill establishes a provider number framework to publicly disclose the percentage of the baseline that a provider accepts as full payment.
