AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans offered in Massachusetts to provide coverage for any prescription medication that was previously prescribed to an insured person for a preexisting condition and covered under the person's prior health insurance plan. The coverage can be for the same medication or a comparable equivalent or generic medication approved to treat the condition, but the prescriber must obtain prior approval from the insurance provider if a generic or equivalent medication is used. The prescriber must submit proof of the preexisting condition and the previous prescription to the insurance provider.
