Protect Affordable Care in Missouri

Missourians deserve healthcare that is affordable, transparent, and centered on patients, not hidden pricing and restrictive contracts.

HB 3088 protects patients by preventing contract provisions that limit transparency, restrict competition, and steer patients toward higher-cost care.

How HB 3088 Protects Patients

Protects Patient Choice

Prevents contract clauses that restrict the ability to guide patients to high-quality, lower-cost providers.

Preserves Transparency

Prohibits “gag clauses” that block disclosure of cost and quality information to patients.

Promotes Fair Competition

Stops contract practices that protect high prices and limit provider competition.

Why This Matters

Certain contract provisions can:

• Prevent patients from learning their true out-of-pocket costs
• Restrict health plans from offering lower-cost options
• Protect pricing structures that drive up healthcare spending

HB 3088 restores transparency and competition — key safeguards against rising healthcare costs.

Missouri families are already feeling the strain of rising healthcare costs. Greater transparency and fair competition help keep care affordable and empower patients to make informed choices.
