The bill under consideration involves the committee on Financial Services reviewing several petitions related to health insurance coverage for specific medical conditions. These include coverage for physical therapy for patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, insurance coverage for Alfis syndrome, and testing for Factor V Leiden. The committee has recommended that the accompanying order, House No. 5048, be adopted, which would allow them to conduct further investigation and study of these health insurance mandated benefit bills.
Additionally, the committee is authorized to sit during a recess of the General Court to carry out this investigation and study. They are required to report their findings and any recommendations, along with necessary legislative drafts, to the Clerk of the House of Representatives by December 31, 2026. This process aims to ensure that patients with these conditions receive appropriate coverage and support through their health insurance plans.
