For legislation relative to ensuring treatment for genetic craniofacial conditions. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires insurance providers in Massachusetts to cover medically necessary functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders, including conditions like ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The coverage must be provided without any greater deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than any other benefit offered by the insurer, with the exception of coverage for cleft lip and cleft palate which is prescribed elsewhere in the law. The bill applies to various insurance policies, contracts, and certificates issued or renewed in the state, but exempts any entity that solely provides dental or vision care services.
