Bill > SB616

This bill establishes new reporting requirements for healthcare providers and facilities operating under the Right to Try Act, which allows eligible patients to access investigational treatments. Specifically, healthcare providers must report details about a patient's illness, their residency status (in-state or out-of-state) at the time of consultation and treatment, the authorities under which the provider is licensed, and whether insurance covered the treatment. Facilities must then compile this information into reports for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), ensuring patient and provider identities are kept confidential. The DHHS commissioner is mandated to create rules for data collection, reporting frequency, and confidentiality, and must submit an annual aggregated report of this data to the general court by February 1st each year, starting in 2028. Facilities that willfully fail to comply with these reporting requirements may face an administrative fine of $100 per day.
