Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
New limits on health care kickbacks
Health providers, institutions, and drug makers generally cannot pay premiums or subscription fees for people in Arizona health plans, unless federal law allows it. Insurance producers and their workers cannot knowingly give false AHCCCS eligibility or enrollment information during covered plan transactions. Navigators and certified application counselors can still help with enrollment within their authorized roles when no banned payment is involved. Ordinary care coordination also remains allowed when no banned payment is made. The law bans kickbacks and paid referrals tied to sober living homes and substance use treatment. Courts must impose at least $1,000 per violation, doubled for people with two or more convictions in 10 years. Felony levels depend on value: class 6 for $100 or less, class 4 for more than $100 but less than $1,000, and class 3 for $1,000 or more.
New limits on health plan steering
Insurance solicitation rules cover regular business conduct that urges Arizona residents with known health conditions to drop existing coverage and buy replacement coverage. Physicians, nurses, osteopathic physicians, health care institutions, and their staff generally cannot advise patients to join or leave a specific insurer's plan unless they are licensed insurance producers. They can still discuss whether a practice is in or out of a plan's network. Navigators and certified application counselors can help with enrollment within their authorized roles.
