Prohibits unilateral contract changes in health care provider agreements in Massachusetts.

The bill amends Massachusetts law to prohibit unilateral changes to health care provider contracts by insurers and the state's Division of Insurance. Specifically, it prevents insurers from making unilateral changes to material terms unless the change takes effect after the contract's current term and the provider is notified more than 90 days in advance. Similarly, the Division of Insurance is barred from including such unilateral change provisions in its contracts with health care providers. The bill allows for mutually-agreeable amendments.
