Florida H1301 mandates coverage for orthotics and prosthetics services in health insurance policies and Medicaid.

Florida H1301 requires health insurers to cover orthoses and prostheses for activities of daily living, job-related tasks, and recreational activities. It mandates coverage for replacements if medically necessary due to changes in the insured's condition or irreparable damage. Insurers can request documentation for replacements of devices less than three years old. The bill also prohibits insurers from denying claims for limb loss or absence. Additionally, it requires the Agency for Health Care Administration to seek federal approval to amend Medicaid contracts to include these services.
