Bill
S 903
Massachusetts bill expands post-acute care access through improved financing and provider coordination to reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient transitions.
S 903 aims to expand and improve access to post-acute care services in Massachusetts, which include rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and other transitional care provided after hospital discharge. The bill was referred to the Health Care Financing Committee in February 2025 and is scheduled for a public hearing in July 2025.
Post-acute care services are critical for patient recovery and preventing hospital readmissions, but access barriers—including insurance coverage gaps, provider shortages, and geographic disparities—affect many Massachusetts residents. Improving these services could reduce healthcare costs, improve outcomes, and help vulnerable populations transition safely from hospitals to home or facility-based care.
