Relative to insurance coverage and payment for prescribed treatment for mitochondrial disease. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to require insurance coverage and payment for prescribed treatment of mitochondrial disease, a genetic disorder that affects cellular energy production. The bill amends several chapters of Massachusetts' General Laws to mandate that insurance plans, including those for state employees, individual and group plans, and health maintenance organizations, provide coverage for treatments such as vitamin and nutritional supplements like CoEnzyme Q10, Vitamin E, and L-Carnitine. The goal is to ensure patients with mitochondrial disease have access to the necessary medical care and treatments.
