Assurance of Member Rights

No provider may use any form of coercion in the provision of sterilization services. Neither the MassHealth agency nor any provider, nor any agent or employee of a provider, may mislead any member into believing that a decision to have or not have a sterilization will adversely affect the member’s entitlement to benefits or services for which the member would otherwise be eligible. The MassHealth agency has strict requirements for confidentiality of member records for sterilization services as well as for all other medical services payable under MassHealth.
