Digest
HB 607 prohibits healthcare providers from refusing to treat or contract for services with patients based solely on specific personal characteristics, including age, race, disability, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. Violations of this anti-discrimination mandate disqualify providers from receiving state funds, including reimbursements through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The bill aligns with broader anti-discrimination principles in healthcare while adding enforcement mechanisms tied to state funding.
