AI Summary

This bill aims to promote parity in health care assessments. It amends the definitions of "limited services clinic" and "urgent care clinic" in the General Laws, and updates the provisions for assessing and collecting fees from these types of healthcare providers, as well as acute hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and registered provider organizations that are not affiliated with an existing acute care hospital in their primary service area. The bill ensures that these providers contribute to the estimated expenses of the Health Policy Commission and the Center for Health Information and Analysis, which are responsible for overseeing and regulating the healthcare industry in Massachusetts.
