Bill > H1949

This bill amends the existing laws in Massachusetts to provide worker compensation protections for certified medical cannabis patients and their caregivers. Specifically, it removes the provision that exempts health insurance providers and government agencies from reimbursing the expenses of medical cannabis use. It also adds a new provision that allows worker compensation insurers to reimburse the reasonable and necessary costs of medical cannabis provided to injured employees who are certified as qualifying patients or their personal caregivers under the state's medical cannabis program.
