AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance carriers that offer policies to large groups, meaning employers with a significant number of employees, to cover the cost of scalp cooling systems used to help preserve hair during cancer chemotherapy treatment. This coverage will be mandatory for policies delivered, issued, or renewed in Virginia starting January 1, 2027, and while deductibles and coinsurance may apply, they must be consistent with other benefits in the same plan. The bill specifies that this requirement does not apply to certain types of limited insurance policies, plans for individuals eligible for Medicare, or policies in the individual or small group markets, nor does it apply to qualified health plans offered through the federal health insurance marketplace.
