AI Summary
This bill requires health care coverage for the medically necessary treatment of disease, illness, injury, or bodily dysfunction that is required by a student's individual education program, individualized family service plan, individualized service plan, or the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act. The bill amends various chapters of Massachusetts law to mandate this coverage for active and retired state employees, as well as for individual and group accident, sickness, hospital, medical, and health maintenance organization insurance policies. The bill specifies that all relevant policies, contracts, and certificates issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2017 must conform to these new requirements, and that form filings implementing the act are subject to the approval of the state insurance commissioner. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2018.
