AI Summary

This bill aims to promote timely physician licensure and credentialing. It amends the General Laws to require the Board of Registration in Medicine to issue a temporary registration to a physician if the board has not made a determination on the physician's renewal application within 120 days. Additionally, the bill allows Massachusetts-licensed physicians to obtain proxy credentialing and privileging for telemedicine services with other healthcare providers or facilities, as defined by state and federal regulations. The bill also directs the Board of Registration in Medicine and the Division of Professional Licensure to develop a process to quantify the impact of the proxy credentialing provisions and report annually on improved access, efficiencies, costs, and time savings for providers.
