Massachusetts H4619 aims to protect health care consumers from surprise billing by regulating facility fees and out-of-network services.

Massachusetts H4619 introduces measures to safeguard health care consumers from unexpected billing. The bill mandates that health care providers notify patients if they do not participate in the patient's health benefit plan and if the service was scheduled less than seven days in advance. It also restricts facility fees to specific circumstances, such as services on a hospital's campus or at a facility with a licensed hospital emergency department.
