Gov. Baker signed the bill delaying until January 1, 2025 - the implementation of the state’s notice and disclosure law. The statute is Chapter 107 of the acts of 2022.

This is good news and will give the state and health care providers time and the opportunity to assess implementation of the federal No Surprises Act provisions relating to patient notices and pricing disclosures. From the perspective of the provider community, it would be best if the state deferred to the feds, or at least make them consistent. We will continue to monitor this issue.
