Bill Summary
Relative to unilateral health care provider contract changes. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate unilateral changes to healthcare provider contracts in Massachusetts. It prohibits healthcare providers, insurance carriers, and the state's Group Insurance Commission from including provisions in their contracts that allow for termination without cause or unilateral changes to material contract terms, such as fee schedules, covered services, and utilization review policies. The bill requires at least 90 days' advance notice before any such unilateral changes can take effect, and allows for mutually-agreed amendments to the contracts.
