Bill > S2137

This bill mandates that various health insurance providers, including the state's medical assistance program (referred to as "the division"), accident and sickness insurance policies, employee health and welfare funds, hospital service plans, medical service agreements, and health maintenance organizations, must cover medical and drug treatments for disturbances in body composition caused by HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome. These treatments can include reconstructive surgery like liposuction, other restorative procedures, and dermal injections or fillers to address facial fat loss, provided a treating physician confirms the necessity of the treatment for the condition. Crucially, these benefits cannot be subject to higher deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits offered by the respective insurer.
