An Act relative to same day drug testing

This bill directs the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance to allow definitive drug tests to be billed on the same day as initial drug screens when medically necessary for outpatient pain management or substance abuse treatment. The policy change aims to streamline billing processes for providers by aligning current practices with American Medical Association and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services coding standards. The legislation also authorizes the division to establish preferred providers, set educational requirements, and differentiate among provider types to implement these billing adjustments.
