Bill > H1341

This bill amends Massachusetts insurance law to require insurance policies to cover medical tattoos when deemed medically necessary by a physician. The bill defines a "medical tattoo" as a tattoo used to restore the appearance of a patient's skin, conceal surface defects, or mark a treatment site. Specifically, the legislation mandates that any insurance policy issued, delivered, or renewed in Massachusetts must include coverage for these medically necessary tattoos. The bill directs the insurance commissioner to develop regulations to implement this new requirement, which would help patients who need tattoos for medical purposes obtain coverage for these procedures. This could benefit individuals who have undergone surgeries, have skin conditions, or require precise medical marking, ensuring they can access these treatments without bearing the full financial burden.
