Relative to providing self-funded employer health benefit plans access to their claims data.
HB297 aims to allow employers who self-fund their health benefit plans easier access to their health claims data. This bill seeks to ensure that employers can better understand and manage their healthcare costs and services.
The bill would primarily affect employers with self-funded health plans, enabling them to make more informed decisions about employee healthcare benefits. By giving employers direct access to claims data, they can potentially negotiate better rates with healthcare providers and design more effective health plans.
As of January 7, 2025, HB297 has been introduced and referred to the Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee has scheduled several work sessions to review the bill, including a full committee work session on October 8, 2025. This bill is still in its early stages and is being actively considered by the legislative committee.
