SB 6342 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring coverage for seizure detection devices as durable medical equipment under certain circumstances.

SB 6342 amends Washington State's Medicaid coverage rules to require insurance plans to cover seizure detection devices as durable medical equipment. This directly affects individuals with epilepsy who rely on these devices for safety. The bill adds seizure detection devices to the list of covered durable medical equipment under RCW 74.09.520, which previously included items like prosthetics and oxygen equipment. The change ensures Medicaid will pay for these devices when medically necessary, without requiring additional authorization beyond standard durable medical equipment coverage.
