An Act concerning the safety of autistic and alzheimer individuals

HD 3559 requires health insurance plans to cover technology-assisted tracking devices for insured individuals diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or autism spectrum disorder. The law mandates that these devices must meet specific safety standards, including being waterproof (IP66/IP68), working indoors without cellular service (using radio frequency), having tamper-resistant straps, and avoiding false alarms. Insurance coverage applies after standard co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket limits. This directly affects insured individuals with these conditions and their caregivers by making essential safety devices more accessible.
