Bill Summary
Relative to insurance coverage for mammograms and breast cancer screening. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires insurance plans in Massachusetts, including those offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission, MassHealth (Medicaid), and private insurers, to cover diagnostic examinations for breast cancer at the same level as screening mammograms. This includes examinations using diagnostic mammography, breast magnetic resonance imaging, or breast ultrasound to evaluate abnormalities in the breast. The bill also prohibits insurers from increasing patient cost-sharing, such as deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments, for these diagnostic examinations compared to screening mammograms. The provisions of the bill will apply to all new or renewed insurance contracts one year after its effective date.
