AN ACT CONCERNING MEDICAID COVERAGE OF NONINVASIVE, CUSTOM BREAST PROSTHESES FOR MASTECTOMY PATIENTS.

This bill (HB 6080) requires Medicaid to cover noninvasive, custom breast prostheses for individuals who have undergone mastectomies and are enrolled in Medicaid. It directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries who have had mastectomies by mandating coverage for these prostheses, which are designed to enhance comfort and reduce physical side effects. The key provision amends state law to make this coverage mandatory, moving beyond optional or limited reimbursement. The stated purpose is to modernize and improve care options for Medicaid-covered mastectomy patients.
