Requires health benefit plans to cover prostheses for hair loss due to cancer treatment

SB 1114 would require health insurance plans to cover hair prostheses (like wigs or hair systems) for people experiencing hair loss as a side effect of cancer treatment. This directly affects cancer patients who currently may face significant out-of-pocket costs for these necessary items. The bill mandates that health benefit plans include coverage for these prostheses as part of standard benefits. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Insurance and Banking Committee after being prefaced and first read in early 2026.
