Vermont H0685 mandates health insurance coverage for scalp cooling systems used during cancer chemotherapy treatment.

Vermont H0685 amends state law to require health insurance plans to cover scalp cooling systems used in cancer chemotherapy treatment. These systems are devices designed to cool the scalp to prevent or reduce hair loss. The bill defines a "scalp cooling system" as any device used to cool the scalp to prevent or reduce hair loss during cancer chemotherapy treatment, provided it is designed for repeated use and primarily serves a medical purpose. The act takes effect on January 1, 2027, and applies to all health insurance plans issued on or after that date.
