Bill Summary

Relative to fair and equitable compensation for medical services. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure fair and equitable compensation for medical services in Massachusetts. It prohibits health insurance carriers from reducing the payment rate for evaluation, management, or procedural services solely because the provider also billed for other health care services on the same day. Additionally, for health plans where the carrier or utilization review organization only provides administrative services, their obligations related to payment are limited to recommending that coverage be authorized to the third-party payor.
