AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance providers in Massachusetts to cover medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The coverage must be provided for active and retired state employees, MassHealth (Medicaid) recipients, and those with individual or group health plans, including HMOs and preferred provider organizations. The coverage cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits provided. The bill excludes coverage for cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the congenital condition.
