AI Summary

This bill aims to establish alternative payment arrangements in the healthcare system to promote non-discrimination. It amends Chapter 176O of the General Laws by adding a new Section 28 that outlines the factors carriers can and cannot consider when setting up alternative payment arrangements, such as patient population characteristics, total medical expenses across all providers, and not basing it on historic medical spending or provider prices of a subset of the network. The bill also adds a definition for "alternative payment arrangement" to the chapter. Any violations of the provisions in Section 28 would be considered a violation of Section __ of Chapter 93A of the General Laws.
