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 coverage for medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, including conditions like ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The coverage must be provided by various insurance plans, such as accident and sickness insurance, blanket or general insurance policies, employees' health and welfare funds, individual or group hospital service plans, individual or group medical service agreements, and health maintenance contracts. The coverage cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits provided by the insurer. The bill excludes coverage for cleft lip and cleft palate, which are already covered elsewhere in the law, as well as for cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the covered congenital conditions.
