An Act limiting out of pocket health expenses

This bill limits the amount of out-of-pocket health costs, such as deductibles and copayments, that employees and their families must pay under public health plans in Massachusetts. It sets a maximum annual limit of $2,500 for individual coverage and $5,000 for family coverage, ensuring that no enrollee pays more than these amounts for covered services. Additionally, the law requires public authorities offering health plans to align their cost-sharing features with the most affordable plans available in the state and creates a trust fund to handle any excess premium payments for future use.
