Massachusetts H1226 aims to promote graduate medical education by requiring MassHealth to make payments for residency training in primary care.

Massachusetts H1226 amends Chapter 118E of the general laws to include a new section mandating MassHealth to fund Graduate Medical Education payments. These payments are designated for residency training in primary care, behavioral health, and other areas facing physician shortages. Eligible recipients for these funds include community health centers and hospitals licensed in the Commonwealth. This initiative aims to address the shortage of physicians in critical areas by supporting the training of new medical professionals.
