Industry Impact
Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 1 helped, 1 harmed.
- +Health Insuranceconfidence 0.95
Section 2(a)(1)(A) and similar provisions in ERISA and IRC amendments prohibit anticompetitive terms in facility and insurance contracts that limit access to higher quality, lower cost care. This benefits health insurers by allowing them greater flexibility to steer patients to lower-cost providers and design networks without restrictive agreements from providers, thus reducing costs and increasing competitive ability.
- −Hospitals & Health Systemsconfidence 0.90
Section 2(a)(1)(A) prohibits group health plans and health insurance issuers from entering agreements with covered entities (including health care providers, networks, or associations of providers) that restrict steering participants to other providers or offering incentives to use specific providers. This limits the ability of hospitals and health systems to negotiate exclusive or restrictive contracts that steer patients to their facilities, imposing a cost on their business model.
