Bill > H600

This bill aims to reduce prescription drug abuse testing and fraud prevention. It requires the Massachusetts Medicaid (MassHealth) office to implement medical necessity documentation and utilization frequency guidelines, as outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and to require providers to demonstrate utilization and frequency control programs. Additionally, the bill deems out-of-state, College of American Pathologists-accredited independent clinical laboratories as eligible and qualified to participate as MassHealth providers and be eligible for payment, regardless of any contradictory state laws.
