H 4549: An Act to improve outcomes for persons with limb loss and limb difference

This bill (H 4549) requires Massachusetts health insurers and MassHealth to cover prosthetic and orthotic devices without discrimination based on disability.

The law also guarantees access to at least two in-network providers and prevents denial of coverage for limb loss-related needs that would be covered for non-disabled individuals seeking similar medical care. It directly affects people with limb loss or difference who rely on these devices for mobility and daily living.
