The Massachusetts Health Connector provided detailed feedback on the 2025 NBPP proposed rule, voicing strong support for robust network adequacy standards, a permanent special enrollment period (SEP) for low-income individuals, and expanding access to routine adult dental benefits. These measures aim to strengthen consumer protection, reduce barriers to coverage, and enhance access to essential health services. The Health Connector also underscores the importance of addressing administrative burdens and aligning policies with state-specific needs to maximize health equity. These proposals, if adopted, will further the agency’s mission to provide comprehensive, affordable, and equitable health coverage for all residents.
