state law. This section shall not require that a health insurer contract with any health-care provider willing to abide by the terms and
conditions for participation established by the insurer. Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a health insurer or the
Commissioner from establishing varying reimbursement rates based on quality or performance measures.
(b) Individuals. — The provisions of § 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (relating to nondiscrimination) [42
