Bill > H1010

This bill requires health benefit plans to provide coverage for mandibular advancement splints, which are devices worn in the mouth to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, also known as sleep apnea oral appliances or mouth guards. The coverage includes full payment for the first $2,000 of the splint's cost and 80% coverage for the next $2,000, along with all necessary related services like assessment, selection, and fitting, provided these are prescribed by a dental or medical professional. This provision aims to improve access to treatment for sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
