Massachusetts H5626 aims to improve outcomes for persons with limb loss and limb difference by enhancing coverage for prosthetic and orthotic devices.

Massachusetts H5626 mandates that health maintenance contracts and health plans provide coverage for prosthetic and orthotic devices, including repairs and replacements. It ensures that these devices are covered under the same terms as other durable medical equipment and prohibits discrimination based on an enrollee's disability. The bill also requires access to medically necessary clinical care and devices from at least two distinct providers within the network.
