Massachusetts H1228 aims to prevent healthcare providers from negotiating rate increases with carriers that exceed the state's healthcare cost growth.

Massachusetts H1228 seeks to amend Section 9A of Chapter 176O by adding a provision that restricts healthcare providers from negotiating rate increases with carriers that surpass the state's healthcare cost growth benchmark. This bill targets the negotiation process between healthcare providers and insurance carriers, ensuring that any rate increases do not exceed the established benchmark set by the state. The intent is to maintain control over healthcare costs and prevent excessive increases that could burden both providers and patients.
