Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that health insurance plans in Massachusetts cover medical, behavioral, and health care services provided through mobile integrated health care programs. It prohibits insurers from denying coverage solely because a provider participating in such a program delivers services, and it ensures that payment rates are not reduced as a result. The bill also includes provisions to reduce fees for behavioral health MIH programs and clarifies coverage requirements for various types of insurance contracts.
Key provisions
- Insurance companies cannot deny coverage for services delivered by mobile integrated health care providers.
- Payment rates for services provided through mobile integrated health care programs will not be reduced.
- Mobile integrated health care programs focused on behavioral health will not be subject to application fees.
- Various insurance contracts (hospital service plans, medical service agreements, and health maintenance contracts) must cover services from approved mobile integrated health care programs.
- A deductible, copayment, or coinsurance for services from mobile integrated health care providers can be applied, but it cannot exceed the amount for similar services in a traditional healthcare facility.
- The bill amends several chapters of the General Laws to include these provisions.
Who is affected
- Health insurance companies
- Healthcare providers participating in mobile integrated health care programs
