Bill Summary
For legislation to provide health insurance coverage for certain medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders. Financial Services.
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 cannot have higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits provided by the insurer. The bill excludes coverage for cleft lip and cleft palate, which is already prescribed elsewhere in state law. The bill applies to all health insurance policies issued or renewed in Massachusetts, except for those that solely provide dental or vision care services.
