Bill Summary

Relative to reimbursements of costs for medically appropriate evaluations and management services in outpatient settings. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure prompt access to health care by requiring insurers in Massachusetts to cover the costs of medically appropriate evaluation and management services in outpatient settings, including office and hospital-based clinics, as part of a basic benefits package without requiring a deductible. However, the bill provides an exception if the applicable health plan is governed by the Federal Internal Revenue Code and would lose its tax-exempt status as a result of the prohibition on deductibles for these services.
