Bill > H1113

This bill requires insurance providers in Massachusetts to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of Alfi's syndrome, a genetic condition also known as 9p deletion syndrome or monosomy 9p. The bill defines the types of care that must be covered, including habilitative or rehabilitative care, pharmacy care, psychiatric care, psychological care, and therapeutic care. Insurers may be exempt from coverage requirements for certain habilitative or rehabilitative care not previously covered if the added costs exceed 1% of premiums. The bill applies to active and retired state employees, as well as individual and group health insurance plans issued or renewed in Massachusetts. The provisions of the bill must be reflected in all relevant insurance policies, contracts, and certificates issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2022.
