Relative to certain health care liens. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 70A of Chapter 111 of the General Laws to expand the definition of "hospital" for the purposes of health care liens and consumer protection. The expanded definition now includes athletic trainers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, podiatrists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists licensed under Chapter 112 of the General Laws. This change ensures that these healthcare providers are subject to the same rules and regulations regarding health care liens as traditional hospitals.
