New Website Created on State Health Care Payment Law Implementation

The state has announced a new web page on Mass.gov that will serve as a clearinghouse for information as the state implements the new health care cost containment law signed by Governor Patrick in August.

The site will host important announcements about the new law as well as information on Grants & Demonstrations,Stakeholder Meetings andBoards, Commissions & Task Forces. 

Thanks to the advocacy efforts of the Home Care Alliance, the association has been given the authority to name members on the “Task Force Related to Behavioral, Substance Use Disorder, and Mental Health Treatment”  as Governor Deval Patrick, joined by Secretary Jay Gonzalez, Secretary JudyAnn Bigby, Rep. Steven Walsh, Rep. Ronald Mariano,  Attorney General Martha Coakley, Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo, signs the health care cost containment bill in Nurses' Hall. well as the “Commission to Review Public Payer Reimbursement Rates.”

The website also announces meetings to inform stakeholders of progress and potential opportunities related to the new law so those interested are encouraged to check the site regularly and stay tuned to our blog for other important updates.
