AI Summary
This bill aims to limit out-of-pocket expenses for active and retired employees, their dependents, and the survivors of deceased employees in Massachusetts. Specifically, it sets a maximum of $2,500 for individual coverage and $5,000 for family coverage per enrollment year for deductibles and copayments for covered services. The bill also amends existing laws to ensure that the cost-sharing plan design features offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission do not exceed these limits. Additionally, it directs any excess premium payments made by the Commonwealth and its employees/retirees to be used to pay for out-of-pocket expenses beyond the established limits or to improve insurance benefits.
