AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 111M of Massachusetts law to allow individuals eligible for coverage under Chapter 111M to purchase individual, non-renewable short-term medical plans. The bill defines a short-term medical plan as health coverage with a contract duration of less than 12 months, including any extensions, and allows these plans to be sold or renewed consecutively up to a total policy duration of 24 months. Insurers offering short-term plans must provide written disclosure that the plan is not subject to guaranteed renewal provisions, and the termination of a short-term plan is considered a qualifying event, allowing the individual to enroll in an individual health insurance plan.
