An Act relative to unpaid health insurance deductibles

This bill requires health insurance companies in Massachusetts to pay for unpaid deductibles and co-payments owed by their members. It mandates that insurers directly reimburse healthcare providers for these amounts instead of leaving the financial burden on patients. The Division of Insurance is tasked with creating rules to enforce this new liability for insurance companies. This change would shift the responsibility for covering these specific out-of-pocket costs from individuals to the insurance carriers.
