Bill Summary

Relative to insurance coverage for pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections and pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires various insurance plans in Massachusetts, including those provided by the state's Group Insurance Commission, to cover the treatment of pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) and pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). The covered treatments include, but are not limited to, the use of Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. The bill amends existing laws to mandate this insurance coverage for active and retired state employees, as well as for policies, contracts, and agreements issued, delivered, or renewed within the Commonwealth.
