AI Summary

This bill requires that network hospitals be compensated at their full negotiated rate for behavioral health services provided to MassHealth patients who are also clients of agencies within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and for whom no appropriate alternative placement is available. However, this compensation is contingent on the hospital documenting that it has made good faith efforts to place the clients in any appropriate alternative setting.
