Establishes pilot programs for alternative behavioral health transport models in Massachusetts.
The bill mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish and implement five pilot programs across the state to explore alternative models for transporting behavioral health patients. These programs aim to promote the use of non-emergency medical transport for individuals requiring behavioral health intervention. The pilot programs will be evaluated for effectiveness, including transfer times, non-stigmatized treatment, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional ambulance transport.
