Ensures MassHealth rate parity for behavioral health inpatient providers.

This bill mandates that MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program, ensure that contracted health insurers, health plans, health maintenance organizations, and behavioral health management firms reimburse all network inpatient behavioral health providers at least the MassHealth fee-for-service per diem rate for inpatient behavioral health care. The aim is to establish parity in rates for these providers.
