AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make it illegal for any person or company to own or control both a health insurance company and a health care provider paid by Medicare Part B or Medicare Advantage, or a management company that serves such a provider. Hospitals, medical equipment suppliers, and pharmacies are excluded. Owners in violation would have to sell one of the businesses within 2 years for existing holdings, or within 1 year for later acquisitions. Federal agencies and state attorneys general could sue, and courts would order violators to sell and give up revenue earned during the violation. Starting in 2026, Medicare could not contract with or pay Medicare Advantage organizations that have this kind of shared ownership.
