AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate unilateral contract changes made by health insurance carriers and the state's Medicaid program (the Division) when contracting with healthcare providers. The bill prohibits these entities from including provisions in their contracts that allow for termination without cause or unilateral changes to material contract terms, unless the change is required by law and the provider is given at least 90 days' written notice before the end of the contract term. The bill provides exceptions for mutually agreed-upon contract amendments between the parties.
