It’s Been a Long Time Coming: Massachusetts Health Care Market Review 2.0
January 8, 2025 | Blog | By Deborah Daccord, Cassandra Paolillo, Kate Stewart, Giselle Mota
The latest entrant in a national wave of policymakers enacting health care market oversight laws that have a significant impact on providers and investors, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has signed into law House Bill 5159, “An Act enhancing the health care market review process” (the Act). The product of nearly five months in conference committee following disagreeing votes of the House and Senate, the Act substantially broadens the applicability of one of the oldest state health care market review laws in the country. The changes brought about by the Act will increase financial transparency and the Commonwealth’s ability to examine both the anticipated and long-term impact of health care transactions. The Act expands the authority of the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO), the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA), and the Health Policy Commission (HPC) to require financial, structural, and operational information from a wide array of health care providers and those seeking to provide them with investment, management, and other services.
