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 defines these systems as reusable medical devices designed specifically to cool the scalp and applies to policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. While the devices must be covered, the bill allows insurance companies to apply standard annual deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments consistent with other benefits in the same policy. This change directly affects patients undergoing chemotherapy who use these devices and the insurers that provide their coverage.
