AI Summary
This bill aims to improve transparency in health insurance benefits by making several changes. It requires the Agency for Health Care Administration to publish an annual report identifying healthcare services with the most significant price variation. It also expands the definition of "shoppable health care services" to include any additional services identified by the Agency as having significant price variation. Additionally, the bill allows health insurers and health maintenance organizations to directly reward insured individuals with cash or cash equivalents when they use these shoppable services, rather than just crediting their accounts. The bill's provisions are set to take effect on January 1, 2021.
