An Act relative to trans-inclusive health care access

Summary

The measure adds new sections to Massachusetts law that bar the state health‑care commission, insurance regulators, insurers, health‑maintenance organizations and certain corporations from refusing a written verification from a qualified provider for gender‑affirming treatment, unless the verification fails established clinical guidelines. It also limits those entities to requiring only one such verification. The goal is to reduce administrative hurdles for transgender patients seeking care.
