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, to improve function or approximate normal appearance. The coverage cannot be subject to greater deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits provided by the insurer. The bill does not apply to policies that solely provide coverage for dental or vision care services.
