Bill > S713

This bill modifies Section 24B of Chapter 175 of the Massachusetts General Laws by requiring health insurance providers to provide notice of plan modifications at least 6 months in advance. Specifically, the bill adds the language "not less than 6 months in advance of such modifications" to the existing statute, which currently discusses health insurance modifications without specifying a required notice period. By mandating a 6-month advance notice, the bill aims to give consumers more time to understand and prepare for potential changes to their health insurance plans, which could include alterations to coverage, premiums, or plan terms. This provides greater transparency and allows individuals and families more opportunity to evaluate their healthcare options and make informed decisions about their insurance coverage.
