Summary

The bill amends Massachusetts law so health‑care providers must tell patients whether they are in the patient’s insurance plan and provide good‑faith cost estimates. It sets timing rules for those estimates and allows the commissioner to fine providers or insurers up to $2,500 for violations. The changes aim to give patients clearer price information before non‑emergency care.
