AI Summary

This bill prohibits healthcare entities, such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), hospitals, medical insurance companies, and health maintenance organizations, from requiring physicians to obtain Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as a condition for employment, credentialing, or reimbursement. MOC refers to a continuing education program that measures core competencies in the practice of medicine and surgery, and is approved by a nationally-recognized accrediting organization. The bill aims to ensure that physicians can practice medicine and receive reimbursement without being mandated to complete the MOC program.
