The Health Care Authority (HCA) developed rules to align with the requirements of Senate Bill 5377, which pertains to Cascade Select. This bill provides that if a public option plan is not available in each county during plan year 2022 or later, certain hospitals must contract with at least one public option plan to provide in-network services to enrollees.
HCA adopted enforcement rules, as directed by the legislation, to ensure hospitals comply with these contracting requirements. View the rules.
