AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 176B of the Acts of 2012 to require individual and group medical service agreements that cover children under the age of 18 to provide coverage for the cost of treating cleft lip and cleft palate. The coverage must include benefits for medical, dental, oral and facial surgery, orthodontic treatment, speech therapy, audiology, and nutrition services, as long as these services are prescribed by a treating physician or surgeon and deemed medically necessary. The coverage required by this section is subject to the same terms and conditions as other benefits, but payment for dental or orthodontic treatment unrelated to the management of cleft lip and palate is not covered.
