For legislation to provide health insurance coverage for scalp and facial hair prosthesis. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance policies in Massachusetts to provide coverage for scalp and facial hair prostheses for individuals who have lost hair due to the treatment of cancer or leukemia, or as a result of certain medical conditions like alopecia areata and alopecia totalis. The coverage is subject to a written statement from the treating physician that the prosthesis is medically necessary, and must be provided at the same level as coverage for hair prostheses due to chemotherapy-related hair loss.
