Bill Summary
For legislation to promote value-based insurance design in the Commonwealth. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote value-based insurance design in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to determine which medical and behavioral health services, treatments, and prescription drugs should be considered "high-value, cost-effective" and covered without cost-sharing by various insurance plans, including the Group Insurance Commission, MassHealth, and private insurers. The bill establishes a Value-Based Insurance Expert Panel to advise the Secretary on these determinations, and requires the Center for Health Information and Analysis to evaluate the impact of this policy every two years.
