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 plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for the medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta, in order to improve function or approximate normal appearance of abnormal structures caused by congenital disease or anomaly. The coverage cannot include cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the congenital condition, and the benefits must be subject to the same deductibles, coinsurance, copays, and out-of-pocket limits as other benefits provided by the insurer. The bill applies to various types of health insurance plans in Massachusetts, but excludes policies that only provide dental or vision coverage.
