Massachusetts Senate to Release Global Payment Bill This Week

The Massachusetts Senate expects to reveal their version of a healthcare financing bill this week, days after House leaders released their version, according to a Boston Globe report.

The Senate has said it expects to pass their version by July 1. Details of the Senate bill were not included in the news report.

The House version of the bill was designed to incentivize and reward providers for keeping patients healthy instead of paying them for each service or operation. House leaders said the legislation would lower family premiums by about $2,000 each year over the next five years.
