An Act relative to requiring dental insurance to cover CBCT scans

This bill is a draft (HD 613) that would require dental insurance plans to cover CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scans. It would directly affect dental patients and insurance providers in Massachusetts, as it would mandate coverage for these specialized 3D dental imaging scans. The key provision would eliminate out-of-pocket costs for patients needing CBCT scans for procedures like implants or complex extractions, which are currently often excluded or partially covered. However, no specific details about coverage limits, exceptions, or implementation timelines are provided in the draft text. Since this is a work-in-progress draft with no substantive text or summary available, a full policy summary cannot be provided at this stage.
