Bill Summary
For legislation relative to HIV screening and prevention. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen HIV screening and prevention efforts in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to expand the definition of "prevention" for certain healthcare services, require insurance coverage for out-of-network providers offering venereal disease prevention or treatment, and update consent and disclosure requirements for HIV testing. The bill also directs the Department of Public Health to study the feasibility, benefits, and costs of requiring insurers to cover services provided by out-of-network providers and the state laboratory for venereal disease prevention and treatment.
