Other Provisions

(1) Severability. The provisions of 101 CMR 515.00 are severable. If any provision or the application of any provision to an applicable individual, entity, or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional, that holding will not be construed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any remaining provisions of 101 CMR 515.00 or application of those provisions to applicable individuals, entities, or circumstances. (2) Application of this Regulation. The provisions of 101 CMR 515.00 implement statutory requirements enacted through St. 2024, c. 140, which repealed, as of January 1, 2025, payor surcharges on payments for services rendered by acute hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. Therefore, the statutory requirement is applicable for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and supersedes the collection of such payor surcharges provided, however, that such payor surcharges shall continue to be applicable for all surcharge amounts due for months prior to January 1, 2025.
