AI Summary

This bill amends the state's insurance laws to regulate how insurance carriers can establish alternative payment arrangements with healthcare providers. It prohibits carriers from considering provider prices or historic medical spending for only a subset of their provider network when setting these alternative payment arrangements. The bill also requires carriers to file data on their alternative payment arrangements with a state agency to verify compliance. Violations of these provisions would be considered a violation of the state's consumer protection law.
