Nebraska LB655 protects health care providers and payors from discrimination for medical conscience-based objections.

Nebraska LB655 aims to safeguard health care providers and payors from discrimination when they opt out of services due to conscience-based objections. Providers must inform patients of their objections before appointments. Payors cannot deny coverage for services they are contractually obligated to provide. The bill also allows providers to report violations and prohibits disciplinary action for public speech on health care services.
