An Act relative to ensuring treatment for genetic craniofacial conditions
House: Committee recommended bill ought to pass and referred to the committee on House Ways and Means
Summary
The bill adds new sections to several insurance statutes, requiring group, private, and public health plans to provide coverage for functional repair or restoration of craniofacial disorders caused by congenital conditions such as ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and amelogenesis imperfecta. It excludes cleft lip/palate (already covered elsewhere) and purely cosmetic or unrelated dental/orthodontic work, and it bars higher deductibles, coinsurance, or copays for these services. The goal is to ensure affected employees, retirees, and the public receive needed treatment without extra cost barriers.
