Summary

The bill mandates that individual and group health benefit plans offering cancer treatment benefits must cover scalp‑cooling systems when prescribed to prevent hair loss from chemotherapy. Coverage includes the device, supplies, fitting and monitoring, but standard deductibles or copayments may still apply. Plans must also provide written notice to members about this new coverage.
