AI Summary

This bill aims to provide access to patient protection services for MassHealth consumers, which is the state's Medicaid program. The bill amends existing law to ensure that all individuals covered by MassHealth, including those enrolled in managed care plans and third-party administrators, have access to the patient protection standards and procedures established in state law. These standards will be administered and enforced by the Office of Patient Protection, and the state agencies overseeing MassHealth will request any necessary waivers from federal laws or regulations to facilitate the implementation of this measure.
