Bill Summary

Relative to insurance coverage for post-COVID syndrome. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires insurance coverage for the treatment of post-COVID syndrome, which refers to enduring and consistent symptoms that arise after an individual has been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the health clinician suspects they are related to the COVID-19 infection, or in an individual where a COVID-19 diagnosis was not obtained due to a lack of antibodies. The bill amends several chapters of Massachusetts law to mandate coverage for post-COVID syndrome treatment for state employees, Medicaid recipients, and those with individual or group health insurance policies, as well as requiring healthcare providers to report information related to the diagnosis and treatment of post-COVID syndrome to the Department of Public Health.
