Massachusetts S851 aims to prevent health care providers from refusing to negotiate with payors and charging excessive rates.

Massachusetts S851 addresses unfair practices by health care providers, particularly those influenced by private equity, by prohibiting them from refusing to negotiate with public or private payors and charging more than 200% of the average contracted reimbursement rate. Such actions would be considered unfair or deceptive acts under chapter 93A.
