AI Summary
This bill aims to provide health insurance coverage for medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The bill amends various chapters of the General Laws to require coverage for these treatments, but excludes coverage for cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the congenital conditions. The benefits provided under this bill cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than any other benefits offered by the insurers.
