An Act relative to defining invasive surgical procedures
This bill defines invasive surgical procedures for Massachusetts healthcare laws by specifying that they involve any action that structurally alters the human body through incisions, destruction of tissue, or the use of instruments like lasers, ultrasound, and needles. The definition explicitly includes various methods such as cutting, burning, freezing, and injecting, while noting that using an epinephrine auto-injector for anaphylaxis does not count as an invasive procedure. It also clarifies that these definitions do not change the current scope of practice for any profession licensed under Chapter 112.
