State lawmakers are aggressively enacting legislation that--depending on the perspective--either regulates managed care or provides for consumer protections. More than half the states have adopted a "Patient Bill of Rights." These new laws address the entire range of managed care issues, including, but not limited to, provider access, bans on gag clauses, consumer grievance procedures, direct access, disclosure, provider credentialing, medical records, insurer liability, solvency, drug formularies, certification and, in some cases, a point-of-service option.
州立法者正在积极制定法律，从不同角度来看，这些法律要么对管理式医疗进行监管，要么提供消费者保护措施。超过半数的州已经通过了“患者权利法案”。这些新法律涉及管理式医疗的所有问题，包括但不限于医疗服务提供者的准入、禁止禁言条款、消费者申诉程序、直接就诊、信息披露、医疗服务提供者资质审查、医疗记录、保险公司责任、偿付能力、药品处方集、认证，在某些情况下还包括服务点选项。
