South Carolina bill mandates insurance coverage for scalp cooling systems during cancer chemotherapy treatment.
The bill amends South Carolina law to require health insurance policies covering cancer chemotherapy treatment to also cover scalp cooling therapy. This includes scalp cooling equipment and supplies, as well as the operation, monitoring, and management of scalp cooling systems. Insurers must establish procedures for certification, documentation, and verification of compliance. Noncompliance may result in penalties. The Department of Insurance enforces these provisions, which apply to all individual and group health insurance policies and health maintenance organizations in the state.
