AI Summary

This bill allows physicians to jointly negotiate with insurance carriers over contractual terms and conditions that may affect patient care, such as utilization management policies, quality assurance programs, and reimbursement methodology. The bill provides a process for physicians to petition the Attorney General for approval to engage in these joint negotiations, and the Attorney General must determine that the benefits of the joint negotiations outweigh any potential anticompetitive effects. The bill also requires the Attorney General to report to the Governor and Legislature on the implementation and impact of the law four years after its effective date.
