An Act concerning the safety of autistic and alzheimer individuals

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to cover wearable tracking devices for individuals diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder or Alzheimer's disease. The legislation defines these devices as waterproof, non-cellular trackers that function without a direct line of sight to the sky and include features to prevent false alarms. By mandating full coverage subject to standard deductibles and co-pays, the measure aims to ensure that these specific safety tools are accessible to affected individuals and their guardians.
