Massachusetts H4953 requires insurance companies to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for certain services.

Massachusetts H4953 amends Chapter 176O of the General Laws to mandate that insurance companies reimburse licensed athletic trainers for covered services, provided they act within the scope of practice authorized by law and a referral from a physician is present. The bill ensures that reimbursement for these services is not denied if another health care provider would be reimbursed for similar services.
