An Act to increase enrollment in affordable health plan networks

This bill modifies Massachusetts health insurance regulations to expand access to affordable plans. It creates new exemptions for insurers whose members are primarily in single-rate regions, enrolled in subsidized coverage (Chapter 176Q), or whose income comes mostly from government programs. Additionally, it requires insurers to include entire provider groups - like all doctors in a practice or all facilities - at once in select or tiered networks, rather than allowing partial inclusion. These changes directly affect health insurance carriers and healthcare providers by altering network design rules and reducing regulatory burden for certain insurers.
