HD 2558 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services

This bill establishes rules for non-licensed practitioners offering complementary and alternative health care services (like acupuncture, naturopathy, or massage therapy without state licensing). It requires these practitioners to provide clients with a written disclosure before services begin, including their qualifications, service details, and confidentiality policies, and obtain written client acknowledgment. The bill explicitly prohibits such practitioners from performing surgery, prescribing drugs, making medical diagnoses, or claiming to be licensed. It does not affect licensed health professionals or activities already permitted by law.
