## Summary

**A coordinated study of anti-competitive health care contract clauses.** This bill would direct the Government Accountability Office to work with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division to study specific clauses in insurer-provider contracts. - Families and patients: The report would analyze whether these clauses affect consolidation, the prices consumers pay for medical services, and consumer access to health care. - Health insurers and providers: The bill defines four clause types — anti-steering, anti-tiering, all-or-nothing, and gag clauses — and defines tiered network plans. It would require the study to document how those clauses are used in contracts. - Federal agencies and enforcement: The study must list all FTC and DOJ actions related to these clauses and assess whether those agencies have the resources and capability to enforce federal antitrust laws, with recommendations for legislative or administrative steps if needed. - Timing and delivery: The Comptroller General would be required to submit the coordinated report to specified House and Senate committees within 18 months after enactment.
