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 medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The bill provides this coverage for active and retired state employees, Medicaid recipients, and individuals with private insurance plans, but excludes coverage for cosmetic surgery or dental/orthodontic treatment unrelated to the congenital condition. The benefits provided under this bill cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits offered by the insurer.
