Updating the mandated benefit review process for health insurance coverage in Massachusetts.

This bill updates the mandated benefit review process for health insurance coverage in Massachusetts. It requires the Center for Health Information and Analysis to conduct reviews and evaluations of mandated health benefit bills. The reviews must consider public health impacts, medical efficacy, financial impacts, and legislative impacts. The center must issue a comprehensive report every five years on the cost and public health impact of all existing mandated benefits. The center may file legislation to amend or repeal existing mandated benefits that no longer meet standards.
