To strengthen the control of contagious and infectious diseases in the Commonwealth

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows the state commissioner to designate contagious diseases of heightened public health importance. If a disease is designated, insurance plans, health coverage, and medical assistance programs would be required to cover services for its prevention, diagnosis, or treatment without charging patients extra fees or requiring pre-approval. This change would affect individuals with health insurance and those receiving medical assistance, as well as the entities that provide these services.
