Bill Summary

Relative to the base premium rate discount of selective and tiered network insurance products. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 11(a) of Chapter 176J, a section added by a previous act in 2012 concerning health care financing, by reducing the maximum allowable base premium rate discount for selective and tiered network insurance products from 14 percent to 12 percent. Selective and tiered network products are types of health insurance plans that offer lower costs by limiting the choice of healthcare providers to a specific network or by categorizing providers into tiers with different cost-sharing arrangements. This change would therefore decrease the potential discount that insurance companies can offer for these types of plans.
