This bill would prohibit health insurance companies from regulating what physicians, other health care providers, and pharmacists may tell patients about the cost of the treatment or medication they are receiving, or from informing patients about alternative treatments or medications that may be lower in cost. This bill would provide that any contractual clause prohibiting a health care provider or pharmacist from sharing information about costs and alternative treatments or medications, or penalizing a health care provider or pharmacist for providing this information, would be unenforceable. This bill would prohibit health insurers from taking action against a health care provider or pharmacist for providing such information. This bill would further permit a health care provider or pharmacist to recover damages from a health care insurer who takes adverse action, on the basis of a contract or otherwise.
