Bill Summary

Relative to insurance coverage of mobile integrated health. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires insurance providers in Massachusetts, including the state's Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and various private health plans, to cover medical, behavioral, or health care services delivered through mobile integrated health care programs approved by the Department of Public Health. These services must be covered to the same extent as if they were provided in a traditional health care facility, and providers participating in approved mobile programs cannot have their payment rates reduced. The bill allows for deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance requirements for services delivered through mobile programs, as long as they do not exceed the amounts for the same services provided in a health care facility.
