AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "New technology" in Section 25B of Chapter 111 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It specifies that "New technology" refers to equipment such as magnetic resonance imagers and linear accelerators, or services, as defined by the Department of Public Health. However, it excludes computerized tomography and any equipment that is widely used as standard diagnostic, treatment, or therapeutic technology from being considered "New technology." The purpose of this change is to determine the need for new medical technology more effectively.
