HB 958 Original 2024 Regular Session Amedee
Abstract: Prohibits health insurers from offering financial incentives or imposing penalties to
encourage healthcare providers to administer vaccinations.
Proposed law prohibits a health coverage plan from paying or offering to pay to any healthcare
provider an incentive, bonus, or other amount beyond the contracted reimbursement rate for a
covered healthcare service with the intent to, directly or indirectly, influence, persuade, or encourage
the healthcare provider to administer any vaccination.
Proposed law prohibits a health coverage plan from denying or otherwise refusing to reimburse any
claim for a covered healthcare service submitted by a healthcare provider or imposing any other
penalty on a healthcare provider with the intent to, directly or indirectly, influence, persuade, or
encourage the healthcare provider to administer any vaccination.
Proposed law defines "health coverage plan".
