An Act relative to parental choice for medically fragile students

This bill requires health insurance policies in Massachusetts to cover medically necessary treatments for students with disabilities that are specified in their official education or service plans. It directly affects parents of medically fragile students by mandating that various types of insurance, including group plans, individual policies, and health maintenance contracts, provide nondiscriminatory coverage for these specific medical needs. The law applies to all policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2015, and takes effect on January 1, 2024, ensuring that coverage aligns with requirements set by federal disability education laws.
