Relates to the preservation of hair during chemotherapy

This bill requires health insurance policies in the state that cover cancer chemotherapy to also cover scalp cooling systems, which are devices used to reduce hair loss during treatment. The law applies to medical, major medical, and similar comprehensive insurance plans and allows insurers to charge standard deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments for this specific benefit. A scalp cooling system is legally defined as a reusable device intended for medical use to cool the scalp and prevent or minimize hair loss. The changes would take effect on January 1, 2026, and would apply to any insurance policy issued, renewed, or modified on or after that date.
