The bill amends the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (Mcare) Act to include a new section that prohibits insurers from taking adverse actions against health care providers based solely on their provision of legal reproductive health care services. Specifically, it protects providers who offer reproductive health services, including those who prescribe medication to terminate a pregnancy via telemedicine to out-of-state patients, as long as these services are permitted under Pennsylvania law.

The bill defines "adverse action" to include actions such as refusing to renew contracts, reporting providers to governmental entities for practices that may violate other states' laws, and making unfavorable changes to insurance coverage terms. Additionally, it clarifies that "reproductive health care services" encompass a range of medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services related to the human reproductive system. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
