Massachusetts H1384 updates the health care cost growth benchmark and associated market oversight activities.

Massachusetts H1384 updates the health care cost growth benchmark and associated market oversight activities by establishing a technical advisory committee to recommend an adjustment factor for the health care cost growth benchmark. The committee consists of 16 members with expertise in various health care sectors. The bill also mandates that health care entities submit performance improvement plans if their spending exceeds the benchmark. The Health Policy Commission reviews these plans and can require entities to implement them. The commission can assess civil penalties for noncompliance.
