Massachusetts H1192 aims to establish alternative payment arrangements to promote health care non-discrimination.

Massachusetts H1192 seeks to amend Chapter 176O of the General Laws by adding a new section on alternative payment arrangements. This bill mandates that health care carriers consider patient population characteristics when setting these arrangements. It prohibits carriers from basing payments on provider prices or historic medical spending attributable to a subset of providers. The bill also requires carriers to file data on these arrangements with the Center for Health Information and Analysis for compliance verification.
