Provides that no contract between a health care service plan and a physician, physician group, or other licensed health care practitioner shall contain any incentive plan that includes a specific payment made directly, in any type or form, to a physician, physician group, or other licensed health care practitioner as an inducement to prescribe a specific medication or type of medication or to deny, reduce, limit, or delay specific, medically necessary and appropriate services provided with respect to a specific enrollee or groups of enrollees with similar medical conditions.
