Massachusetts H4552 ensures access to scalp and facial hair prostheses for individuals with alopecia areata.

Massachusetts H4552 amends state laws to ensure that health insurance policies cover scalp and facial hair prostheses for individuals with alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, non-classical 21-hydroxylase, or permanent loss of facial or scalp hair due to injury. This coverage applies to both children and adults, provided the alopecia is not due to natural or premature aging. The coverage must be medically necessary, as confirmed by a treating physician, and adheres to the same limitations and guidelines as other prostheses.
