An Act relative to the treatment of infantile cataracts

This bill requires all health insurance policies covering infantile cataract surgery in Massachusetts to include coverage for aphakic lenses (lenses needed after cataract surgery) and related prosthetic contact lenses or glasses, as determined medically necessary by a physician. It directly affects children diagnosed with infantile cataracts and their families, ensuring insurance coverage for essential post-surgery vision correction. The law mandates this coverage across multiple insurance regulatory chapters, overriding any existing policy exclusions. It focuses on concrete policy changes by requiring insurers to cover these specific treatments without additional patient cost for medically necessary items.
