An Act ensuring access to healthcare and medically necessary food for children

This bill amends Massachusetts healthcare laws to ensure children with specific severe food allergies and eosinophilic disorders receive necessary medical support. It formally defines "medically necessary food" to include specialized formulas and low-protein products prescribed by doctors for managing these conditions, while explicitly excluding general diet items like gluten-free or diabetes foods. Additionally, the bill requires health insurance carriers to cover these specialized foods without charging co-pays or deductibles and to allow direct access to immunologists without prior referrals.
