Massachusetts S758 ensures MassHealth consumers have access to patient protection services.

Massachusetts S758 amends the General Laws to guarantee that all individuals covered by MassHealth, including those under contracted health plans and third-party administrators, have access to patient protection services. These services are governed by specific sections of Chapter 176O. The bill also mandates that the executive office of health and human services and the division of medical assistance seek necessary waivers from federal laws or regulations that might hinder the implementation of these protections.
