What does this do?
The bill creates an exception to federal anti-kickback rules so healthcare providers can pay online scheduling and directory services for patient bookings. Platforms must follow rules barring pay-for-ranking, restricting data sharing, banning perks and unsolicited marketing, and requiring reasonable, pre-agreed, disclosed payments.
Who does it affect?
Affects healthcare providers, insurers, and companies running online doctor-finder or booking platforms, plus patients, especially those on Medicare or Medicaid.
Why does it matter?
The change could reshape how patients are matched to providers online, with safeguards intended to limit steering patients toward providers based on payment rather than fit.
