An Act relative to removing barriers to non-opioid pain management

This Massachusetts bill aims to make it easier for people with health insurance to access non-opioid treatments for pain. It stops insurance companies from requiring pre-approval for alternative pain management services that the state insurance division has deemed necessary. Additionally, the law requires insurers to send educational materials to doctors and patients and to post details about these plans on their websites. These changes apply to various types of health insurance plans, including those for employees, retirees, and self-insured groups.
