Amends GS 108D-45 (Number and nature of contracts for standard benefit plans) to incorporate references to GS 108D‑65(6), and divides the statute into existing text in subsection (a) and new language in subsection (b). In new subsection (b), establishes requirements for standard benefit contracts under GS 108D‑65(6), including (1) that all contracts provide Medicaid coverage statewide, (2) that there are no more than four contracts with prepaid health plans, and (3) that the criteria used to evaluate the RFPs for contracts must assign higher weight to PLEs and bidders with higher provider satisfaction measures.
