House Bill No. by Representative Amedee aims to prohibit health coverage plans from providing financial incentives or imposing penalties to healthcare providers for administering vaccinations. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 22:1008.1, which explicitly states that health coverage plans cannot pay or offer bonuses beyond the contracted reimbursement rate to influence healthcare providers to administer vaccinations. Additionally, it prohibits these plans from denying claims or imposing penalties with the same intent.

The proposed law also includes a definition of "health coverage plan," which encompasses various types of insurance policies and contracts, while excluding certain limited benefit plans and short-term policies. Overall, the bill seeks to ensure that healthcare providers are not financially coerced into administering vaccinations, thereby promoting ethical practices within the healthcare system.
