AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for epinephrine injectors, which are devices used to administer a pre-measured dose of epinephrine for the treatment of severe allergic reactions. The bill applies to various types of health insurance plans, including those offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, individual and group policies, and health maintenance organizations.
