Require insurance coverage for infant cranial helmets in Nebraska.

Nebraska LB805 mandates insurance coverage for cranial helmets for infants up to one year old to treat conditions like deformational plagiocephaly or craniosynostosis. This applies to individual or group sickness and accident insurance policies, certificates, or subscriber contracts, as well as self-funded employee benefit plans, excluding short-term major medical policies and those with limited-benefit coverage. The bill aims to ensure that necessary medical devices are accessible for affected infants.
