An Act relative to ensuring treatment for genetic craniofacial conditions

This bill mandates that specific health insurance plans in Massachusetts cover medically necessary treatments for genetic craniofacial conditions. It directly affects employees of the state, members of the Division of Medical Assistance, holders of accident and sickness policies, and subscribers to hospital service plans. The law requires these plans to cover functional repairs or restorations for conditions like ectodermal dysplasia and certain dental anomalies, provided they are not cosmetic procedures or unrelated to congenital diseases. Additionally, the bill ensures that coverage for these treatments is not subject to higher deductibles, copayments, or out-of-pocket limits than other benefits in the same plan.
