H 1007 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to insurance coverage of mobile integrated health

This bill requires insurance companies and Medicaid providers in Massachusetts to cover medical, behavioral, and health services delivered by approved mobile integrated health programs without discrimination. It mandates that these services be treated the same as those provided in traditional healthcare facilities, ensuring that payment rates are not lowered and that any deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance fees do not exceed those for facility-based care. Additionally, the legislation exempts mobile integrated health programs focused on behavioral health from application and registration fees. By updating several state laws, the bill aims to expand access to care by ensuring that patients receiving services through mobile teams face the same coverage conditions as those receiving care in standard settings.
