Bill > H922

This bill, concerning physical therapy insurance payments, amends Chapter 175 of the General Laws by adding a new section that prohibits insurance companies from charging patients a higher copayment, coinsurance, or office visit deductible for physical therapy services than they would for a visit to a primary care physician or osteopath. This aims to ensure that the out-of-pocket costs for physical therapy are comparable to those for general medical office visits. Additionally, the bill requires insurers to clearly communicate the details of physical therapy coverage, including any limitations, conditions, or exclusions, to their plan members.
