An Act ensuring access to full spectrum pregnancy care
This bill amends Massachusetts state law to ensure that pregnancy care services are covered by health insurance plans without requiring patients to pay deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. The law specifically targets plans governed by state regulations, though it allows cost-sharing to remain if a plan must comply with federal tax rules to maintain its tax-exempt status. Additionally, the bill mandates that insurance plans cannot impose unreasonable restrictions or delays on accessing these covered services. The Massachusetts Insurance Commission is tasked with monitoring and enforcing compliance with these new requirements to protect patient access to care.
