Bill > H1887

This bill amends Section 51 of Chapter 111 of the General Laws to ensure access to necessary hospital services, specifically concerning cardiac catheterization. It establishes that any licensed hospital performing at least 300 diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures annually with multiple physicians, or 150 such procedures annually by a single physician, will be considered compliant with volume requirements set by the Department of Public Health. This means these hospitals will not face enforcement actions from the Department solely based on their patient volume for these procedures.
