Summary

The bill changes the legal definition of “new technology” to include items such as magnetic resonance imagers and linear accelerators, as determined by the department, while specifically excluding CT scanners and other widely used equipment. This alters how the state classifies advanced medical equipment and services for purposes of quality, access, or cost considerations. The amendment aims to provide clearer guidance on what qualifies as new technology.
