Bill Summary
For legislation to provide health insurance coverage for certain medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The coverage must improve the function or approximate the normal appearance of any abnormal structures caused by congenital disease or anomaly, but it does not include cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the congenital condition. The benefits provided under this bill cannot have greater deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits offered by the insurer.
