Massachusetts H4961 aims to improve healthcare access for ostomy patients by ensuring insurance coverage for ostomy supplies and related care.

Massachusetts H4961 seeks to enhance healthcare access for ostomy patients by mandating insurance coverage for ostomy supplies and related care. The bill requires insurance policies to cover all medical supplies for managing ostomy care, prohibits the use of non-medical supplies, and mandates that healthcare payers reimburse suppliers at a rate not less than the Medicare reimbursement rate. It also ensures that ostomy supply orders and shipments are not delayed during transitions between insurers and requires suppliers to provide a month's notice before substituting products.
