Massachusetts H1346 establishes a Statewide Steering Committee on Sickle Cell Disease to study and recommend improvements in care access, particularly in underserved areas. The bill mandates a central registry for patients diagnosed with sickle cell trait and requires health insurance coverage for standard fertility preservation services for those at risk of iatrogenic infertility. It also promotes early detection and education through a comprehensive sickle cell disease detection and education program.
