The bill amends the Commonwealth's regulations regarding minimum creditable coverage for health insurance plans under the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority. It establishes criteria that health benefit plans must meet to help Massachusetts residents avoid penalties for lacking adequate health coverage. Key provisions include definitions for terms such as "Ambulatory Patient Services," "Annual Maximum Benefit," and "Preventive Health Services," which clarify the required scope of coverage. The bill mandates that essential services, including core services, emergency services, maternity care, and mental health services, must be included in health plans, with preventive health services covered without cost-sharing. Additionally, it introduces limitations on annual maximum benefits and out-of-pocket costs, ensuring that health plans do not impose excessive financial burdens on individuals. Furthermore, the bill amends G.L. c. 175 to establish a daily benefit not exceeding $500 for insured individuals or their dependents during hospitalization, with annual adjustments based on average weekly wages in the Commonwealth. It also introduces new sections under 956 CMR 5.00, including 5.04: Administrative Bulletins for compliance assistance and 5.05: Severability to ensure the enforceability of remaining provisions if any part is deemed invalid. The regulatory authority for these amendments is derived from M.G.L. c. 111M, § 1 and M.G.L. c. 176Q, § 3. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance access to comprehensive health care services while maintaining affordability and transparency in health insurance offerings.
