Bill overview
The Health Care Price Check Act of 2019 aims to increase transparency in health insurance costs and quality. It requires Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans, and private health insurers to provide a toll-free phone number and website where enrollees can access information about cost-sharing, quality of care, and out-of-network provider costs. The bill also extends these requirements to private health insurance plans, aiming to empower consumers to make more informed healthcare decisions.
