Bill > H2782

This bill modifies Chapter 32A, Section 3 of Massachusetts law to require the Group Insurance Commission (GIC) to hold public hearings before making changes to health insurance copayments, deductibles, or other benefits. The Group Insurance Commission is a state agency responsible for administering health and other insurance benefits for state employees, retirees, and their dependents. By mandating public hearings, the bill aims to increase transparency and provide an opportunity for stakeholders to provide input before the commission implements changes that could affect out-of-pocket costs or coverage for those insured through the state's group insurance plan. This legislative change ensures that potential modifications to insurance requirements will be discussed in a public forum before being finalized, giving affected individuals a chance to voice their concerns or perspectives.
