Bill > HB134

This bill requires Medicaid and the state's child health plan program to provide full coverage for a cranial remolding orthosis, which is a custom-fitted medical device used to correct or improve structural issues with a child's skull, such as craniosynostosis or certain types of plagiocephaly or brachycephaly. The bill sets out specific criteria for when this coverage must be provided, including the child's age and failure to respond to conservative therapy. The bill also states that this required coverage cannot be less favorable than the coverage for other orthotics under Medicaid.
