Pre-Filed Testimony Overview
Each year, the HPC calls for written pre-filed testimony to inform the hearing. The pre-filed testimony affords the HPC and the Office of the Attorney General (AGO), on behalf of the public, an opportunity to engage with a broad range of Massachusetts health care market participants.
This is the first hearing since the enactment of historic health care legislation earlier this year (Chapters 342 and 343 of the Acts of 2024), which strengthens the health care market, addresses rising prescription drug costs, and enhances the public transparency and accountability of the Commonwealth’s health care system – including requiring additional health care market participants to provide public testimony.
Pre-filed testimony is now required from pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), significant equity investors, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and management services organizations (MSOs), in addition to health care providers, hospitals, and payers.
This webpage will be updated periodically as pre-filed testimony submissions are received. If you have any questions regarding pre-filed or in-person testimony, please contact [email protected].
