Insurers may not discriminate against a preferred health care provider licensed to treat an illness or injury within the scope of the health care provider’s practice, who is willing and able to meet the terms and conditions established by the insurer.

Link to Existing Law: Utah Code Ann. § 31A-45-303

This statute has broad applicability and expressly defines ‘health care provider’ as a physician among others, and thus, would benefit pharmacies and dispensing physicians alike. However, because the statute is limited to ‘discriminating against a preferred health care provider,’ it is not as strong as other ‘Any Willing Provider Law’ laws in its requirements.
