Relative to confidential information in health care. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information within the healthcare industry. It amends several sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to require the Health Policy Commission, the Center for Health Information and Analysis, the Department of Public Health, and the Division of Insurance to keep confidential all non-public data, documentation, and information obtained from healthcare providers and payers. The confidential data would be exempt from public records disclosure laws, ensuring that sensitive proprietary information is protected, while allowing for disclosure in the public interest if certain privacy, trade secret, or anti-competitive considerations are taken into account.
