AI Summary
This bill aims to require the Commonwealth government to compensate network hospitals at their full negotiated rate for providing behavioral health services to MassHealth patients who are also clients of agencies within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and for whom no appropriate alternative placement is available. However, this compensation would only be provided if the hospital can document that it has made good faith efforts to place the patients in any appropriate alternative setting.
