For legislation relative to ensuring treatment for genetic craniofacial conditions. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, including genetic conditions like ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The coverage must include the necessary care and treatment of these congenital diseases or anomalies, but cannot include cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the condition. The benefits provided under this bill cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits offered by the insurer.
