Includes implantable infusion pumps for chronic non-cancer pain management as standard coverage for medical assistance

This bill requires medical assistance programs to cover implantable infusion pumps for chronic non-cancer pain management as a standard benefit. It adds these pumps - devices that deliver pain medication directly to the spinal cord - to the list of mandatory covered treatments under social services law. The change would directly affect medical assistance recipients with qualifying chronic pain conditions who currently lack guaranteed access to this treatment option. The law would take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
