AI Summary

This bill requires health plans to provide coverage for orthotic and prosthetic devices, supplies, and services, including repair and replacement, at least equal to the coverage provided under federal law for the aged and disabled. The bill defines key terms like "orthosis," "prosthesis," "orthotics," and "prosthetics," and sets standards for coverage, such as prohibiting separate financial requirements for orthotic and prosthetic benefits and requiring coverage for the most appropriate device that meets the enrollee's medical needs. The bill also requires health plans to apply nondiscriminatory utilization review standards and provide access to in-network or out-of-network providers for medically necessary covered orthotics and prosthetics. Finally, the bill amends state Medicaid statutes to cover orthotic and prosthetic devices, supplies, and services.
