Bill Summary

Relative to out of pocket health expenses for active and retired employees, their dependents and survivors. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to limit out-of-pocket health expenses for active and retired employees, their dependents, and survivors, including municipal subscribers. It amends two sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a maximum of $2,500 for individual coverage and $5,000 for family coverage in deductibles and copayments for covered services during an enrollment year. The bill also requires any public authority that increases copayments, deductibles, or other cost-sharing plan design features to ensure they do not exceed the plan design features offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission for non-Medicare and Medicare plans with the largest subscriber enrollment.
