Bill Summary

For legislation to ensure prompt access to health care. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure prompt access to health care by requiring insurers in Massachusetts to cover the costs of medically appropriate evaluation and management services in outpatient settings, such as office-based and hospital-based clinics, without requiring any co-payment or deductible. The bill provides an exception, allowing co-payments and deductibles to be required if the applicable plan is governed by the Federal Internal Revenue Code and would lose its tax-exempt status as a result of the prohibition on such fees for these services.
