An act relating to health insurance coverage for scalp cooling systems

This bill requires health insurance plans in Vermont to cover scalp cooling systems used during cancer chemotherapy treatment. It directly affects cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who might otherwise face out-of-pocket costs for these devices, which help prevent hair loss. The law defines scalp cooling systems as reusable medical devices designed specifically to cool the scalp during treatment. Coverage becomes mandatory for all health insurance plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2027.
