AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure prompt access to healthcare by requiring insurers in Massachusetts to include reimbursement for medically appropriate evaluation and management services in outpatient settings, such as office and hospital-based clinics, as part of their basic benefits package. The bill stipulates that these services should not require a deductible, except in cases where the applicable plan is governed by the Federal Internal Revenue Code and would lose its tax-exempt status due to the prohibition on deductibles. The bill amends various chapters of the General Laws to implement these provisions across different types of insurance plans in the state.
