AI Summary

This bill requires insurance coverage in Massachusetts for biennial (every two years) echocardiograms and concussion analysis for individuals under the age of 18. The bill amends several chapters of the state's General Laws to mandate this coverage for active and retired state employees, as well as all other health insurance policies, contracts, and plans delivered or renewed within the Commonwealth. The goal of the bill is to provide regular cardiac and neurological screening for young people to help detect any potential issues early on.
