Establishes insurer responsibility for operating budgets of health care oversight entities in Massachusetts.

This bill amends the General Laws to redefine insurer responsibility for the operating budgets of health care oversight entities. It specifies that acute hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, non-hospital provider organizations, pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, pharmacy benefit managers, and surcharge payors must contribute to the commonwealth for the estimated expenses of these entities. The contribution from surcharge payors is set between 30% and 40% of the amount appropriated by the General Court.
