Bill > S2296

This bill amends Massachusetts law to protect access to confidential healthcare information. It requires insurance carriers to develop a common summary of payments form for consumers that is easy to understand and allows them to choose how they receive it, including electronically or by suppressing it entirely for sensitive services. The bill also mandates the state to develop a plan to educate providers and consumers on these rights and carrier responsibilities. The different sections of the bill have different effective dates, ranging from 3 to 9 months after the bill's enactment.
