The facts

What the bill actually says, no spin.

The bill allows binding arbitration if health insurance and providers can't agree on payment.
Both sides must present their final offers before arbitration happens.
The arbitrator will choose one of the two offers as the final decision.
If arbitration is not started 60 days before a contract ends, it will start automatically.
Patients will be notified if their provider is going out-of-network before open enrollment.
