AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "New technology" in the Massachusetts General Laws. It clarifies that "new technology" refers to equipment like magnetic resonance imagers and linear accelerators, or services, as defined by the Department of Public Health. However, the bill excludes computerized tomography and other equipment that is widely used as standard diagnostic, treatment or therapeutic technology from being considered "new technology." The purpose of this change is to determine the need for new healthcare-related technology more accurately.
