Ensuring access to primary care, behavioral health, and affordable hospital services.

This bill aims to ensure access to primary care, behavioral health, and affordable hospital services for public employees and their dependents in Washington. It requires hospitals that receive state payments to contract with health carriers for public employee insurance plans. Starting in 2027, the bill sets limits on how much these plans can reimburse hospitals for services, generally capping it at a percentage of what Medicare would pay, while also setting minimum reimbursement rates for primary care and behavioral health services.
