This bill mandates insurance coverage for biennial echocardiograms and concussion analyses for individuals aged five to eighteen. It amends several chapters of the General Laws, specifically Chapter 32A, Chapter 175, Chapter 176A, Chapter 176B, and Chapter 176G, to ensure that various types of insurance policies—including those offered by the group insurance commission, blanket or general policies, hospital service plans, medical service agreements, and health maintenance contracts—provide this coverage for the specified age group.

The new sections inserted into the law include provisions that require all relevant insurance policies issued or renewed within the Commonwealth to include coverage for these medical services. This initiative aims to enhance the health and safety of children and adolescents by ensuring they have access to necessary cardiac and concussion evaluations.
