Idaho Code Ann. § 41-3443. Best price — most favored nations clause prohibited: Hospital and Service Corporations

Prohibits most favored nation clauses, or clauses having a similar effect, in an agreement between an insurance carrier and a participating provider. A most favored nations clause is an agreement between a payer (such as an insurance company) and a provider that typically requires a provider to give the payer the lowest rate that it gave to any other comparable payer, which can be anticompetitive by encouraging oligopolistic pricing by large payers and increasing barriers for new entrants.

Idaho Code Ann. §§ 39-9101 through 9109: Behavioral Health Community Crisis Centers Act

It is the policy of this state that citizens with behavioral health disorders should not be needlessly incarcerated when no crime has been perpetrated or the crime is of a minor nature arising from a behavioral health disorder, crisis or incident. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature that behavioral health community [...]
