Relating to health benefit plan coverage for hair prostheses for breast cancer patients.

HB 233 would require health insurance plans to cover hair prostheses (such as wigs) for individuals undergoing treatment for breast cancer. This bill directly affects breast cancer patients who would otherwise face out-of-pocket costs for these necessary medical aids during treatment. The key provision mandates that health benefit plans include coverage for hair prostheses without requiring additional patient payments or prior authorization. This policy change aims to improve access to supportive care during breast cancer treatment by ensuring coverage for a common medical need.
