What’s in it
This bill relates to insurance coverage for diagnostic breast cancer examinations. The bill requires a policy, contract, or plan providing for third-party payment or prepayment of health or medical expenses to provide coverage for diagnostic breast cancer examinations. “Diagnostic breast cancer examination” is defined in the bill as an examination of an abnormality, deemed medically necessary by a covered person’s health care professional, for the detection of breast cancer. The examination may be conducted using a diagnostic mammogram, breast magnetic resonance imaging, or breast ultrasound.

“Abnormality”, “diagnostic mammogram”, “breast magnetic resonance imaging”, and “breast ultrasound” are also defined in the bill. The policy, contract, or plan cannot require cost-sharing greater than the cost-sharing that the policy, contract, or plan requires for a screening mammogram. “Cost-sharing” and “screening mammogram” are defined in the bill. The bill applies to third-party payment providers enumerated in the bill. The bill specifies the types of specialized health-related insurance which are not subject to the coverage requirements of the bill. The commissioner of insurance is required to adopt rules to administer the requirements of the bill. The bill applies to third-party payment provider contracts, policies, or plans delivered, issued for delivery, continued, or renewed in this state on or after January 1, 2022.
