AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance coverage for genetic screening for breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility in certain individuals, as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. The coverage may be subject to annual deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments consistent with the health coverage plan. The bill defines "health coverage plan" to include various types of health insurance policies, contracts, and plans, but excludes certain excepted benefits, limited benefit health insurance plans, and short-term policies. The bill becomes effective on January 1, 2020, and applies to new policies, contracts, and plans issued on or after that date, with existing policies required to conform to the new requirements by their renewal date, but no later than January 1, 2021.
