Massachusetts H2478 ensures patients are informed of physician practice sales, relocations, or closures.

Massachusetts H2478 mandates that clinics and physician practices notify patients in writing at least 90 days before a sale, relocation, or closure. The notice must include resources for finding a new provider and contact information for the entity managing the patient's medical records. The bill also requires the Department of Public Health to conduct a public hearing on the proposed transaction, considering its potential impacts.
