Bill > S1488

This bill modifies Section 80B of Chapter 112 of the Massachusetts General Laws to add psychologists to an existing list of healthcare professionals. Specifically, the bill inserts the word "psychologists" after "dentists" in the referenced section, which appears to expand the scope or recognition of psychologists within the state's healthcare regulatory framework. While the bill text is quite brief, it suggests an intent to more formally integrate psychologists into the healthcare team, potentially by granting them additional professional privileges, recognition, or regulatory standing. The modification seems designed to enhance the professional status and utilization of psychologists in Massachusetts' healthcare system, though without more context, the precise implications of this small linguistic change are not entirely clear.
