The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 897 - Health Insurance - Contracts of Carriers with Providers,
Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, or Hospitals - Prohibited Provisions.
This bill prohibits carriers from including in contracts with providers, ambulatory
surgical facilities, or hospitals specified terms or conditions relating to
reimbursement rates and reimbursement arrangements; and makes a violation of the
Act an unfair and deceptive practice for purposes of insurance.
Senate Bill 1086, which was passed by the General Assembly and allowed to go into
effect without my signature, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not
necessary for me to sign House Bill 897.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 897
AN ACT concerning
Health Insurance - Contracts of Carriers with Providers, Ambulatory
Surgical Facilities, or Hospitals - Prohibited Provisions
FOR the purpose of prohibiting carriers from including in contracts with providers,
ambulatory surgical facilities, or hospitals certain terms or conditions relating
to reimbursement rates and reimbursement arrangements; making a violation
of this Act an unfair and deceptive practice for purposes of insurance; and
generally relating to contracts of carriers with providers, ambulatory surgical
facilities, and hospitals under health insurance.
