Oklahoma SB1626 prohibits certain restrictive clauses in health care contracts, establishes violations, and allows for enforcement actions.

Oklahoma SB1626 addresses health insurance contracts by prohibiting specific restrictive clauses, including all-or-nothing, anti-steering, anti-tiering, gag, and most-favored-nations clauses. These clauses limit the ability of health insurance carriers or administrators to negotiate with providers or offer incentives to enrollees. The bill establishes violations of these provisions as unfair or deceptive acts, subject to enforcement by the Attorney General. It allows the Insurance Commissioner to inspect contracts, subpoena records, and impose administrative penalties.
