AI Summary
This bill requires individual and group health insurance policies in Massachusetts to provide coverage for anesthesia and outpatient facility or hospital charges for dental care provided to children under the age of six, or individuals who are severely disabled or have a medical condition that requires hospitalization or general anesthesia for dental procedures. The policy must cover general anesthesia rendered by a qualified provider and hospital costs, regardless of whether the services are provided in an ambulatory surgical center or hospital. Insurance carriers may require prior authorization for the hospitalization or outpatient facility use in the same manner as for other covered medical conditions.
