Summary
Federal Employees Health Care Protection Act of 1997 - Amends Federal law concerning government organization and employees to revise provisions regarding the debarment of any health care provider found to have engaged in fraudulent practices, including requiring (currently permitting) debarment for certain fraudulent practices. (Sec. 3) Makes amendments relating to the health benefits program for Federal employees which: (1) modify the definition of a carrier; (2) specify that the Government-wide service plan be underwritten by participating affiliates licensed in each State; and (3) revise preemption provisions. (Sec. 4) Amends the FEGLI Living Benefits Act to provide for the continuation of health benefits for individuals enrolled in a plan administered separately by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System before each such plan's termination on January 3, 1998. (Sec. 5) Amends Federal law to require a carrier and its subcontractors to include in a health plan contract advance written disclosure of any discounted rate agreements entered into with health care providers, if such carrier or its subcontractors do not: (1) require financial incentives that are made known to the employee, annuitant, family member or other eligible persons prior to their use of such contracted health care providers; or (2) use other forms of steerage to direct the employee, annuitant, family member, or other eligible persons to use such contracted health care providers. Prohibits any carrier and its subcontractors from accessing discounted rate agreements entered into with health care providers for health care services provided to an employee, family member, annuitant, or other eligible person.
