Massachusetts S2732 prohibits health care carriers from denying payment for services based on out-of-network referrals.

Massachusetts S2732 amends several chapters of the General Laws to ensure health care carriers cannot deny payment for services solely because the referral came from a provider not in the carrier's network. This applies to various health care services and plans, including those covered under chapters 32A, 32B, 94C, 118E, 175, 176A, 176B, and 176G. The changes are effective for all contracts entered into, renewed, or amended one year after the bill's effective date.
