Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2232 mandates equitable payment for behavioral health services provided to MassHealth patients.

Massachusetts H2232 requires the Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to ensure network hospitals receive full compensation for behavioral health services provided to MassHealth patients. This compensation is contingent on the hospital documenting good faith efforts to place patients in alternative settings. The bill aims to ensure fair payment for services rendered to MassHealth patients who lack appropriate alternative placements.
