Bill Summary
Relative to transparent and timely health care data. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency and timeliness of health care data in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to require the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) to make payer and provider claims data available to payers and providers in real-time, while complying with privacy laws. The bill also expands the information that must be published on CHIA's website, including comparative price, cost, and quality data for common medical services, as well as other consumer-focused information. Additionally, the bill requires the state's Medicaid program to disclose patient-level data to providers in their network for care coordination and management purposes, and requires health insurers to provide contracted service prices to providers with alternative payment contracts for referral purposes.
