SD 164 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act establishing a healthcare insurance premium payment pool for working families

This bill (SD 164) amends a section of state law to allow multiple entities - such as employers, government programs, and policyholders - to collectively use private vendors for collecting health insurance premiums. It does not create new funding or coverage but requires educating employers and insurers about existing private collection services. The bill directly affects employers, insurers, and government programs that pay for health insurance, not working families as the title suggests. It is a procedural change focused on administrative efficiency, not substantive policy.
