What’s in it

This bill relates to insurance coverage for supplemental breast examinations (supplemental examinations) and diagnostic breast examinations (diagnostic 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 supplemental examinations and diagnostic examinations. “Supplemental examination” and “diagnostic examination” are defined in the bill. Coverage required under the bill shall not be less favorable than coverage a health carrier offers for screening mammograms.

Fiscal note

Cost: up to $500,000 Compare with other bills

House File 2489 is estimated to increase annual costs to the State of Iowa Insurance Plan by an amount ranging between approximately $100,000 and $500,000 beginning in FY 2025. It is anticipated that the lower end of this range is more likely to occur; however, the estimated cost cannot be determined. House File 2489 is also estimated to minimally increase annual costs to the Board of Regents Insurance Plans.
