Relative to select or tiered network health care insurance plans. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase limited and tiered network enrollment in health care insurance plans. It proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to remove certain restrictions on health insurance carriers regarding the introduction or modification of select network plans or tiered network plans. Specifically, it would eliminate the requirements that (i) grant health care providers a guaranteed right of participation, (ii) require the carrier to place all members of a provider group in the same tier of a tiered network plan, and (iii) require the carrier to include all members of a provider group in a select network plan on an all-or-nothing basis.
