Massachusetts H1120 mandates insurance coverage for acupuncture and oriental medicine in pain management, PTSD, substance abuse treatment, and nausea.

Massachusetts H1120 amends the state's general laws to establish a commission on acupuncture and wellness within the Department of Public Health. This commission will evaluate and implement effective integration of acupuncture services in health care delivery, focusing on pain management, substance abuse treatment, and wellness promotion. The bill requires all group health maintenance contracts, hospital service plans, and medical service agreements to cover acupuncture and oriental medicine-based diagnosis and treatment for pain management, PTSD, substance abuse treatment, and nausea.
