Relative to insurance coverage for cervical cancer and women’s preventative health screenings. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill aims to require insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for cervical cancer screenings, including cytological (Pap) and HPV (human papillomavirus) screenings, without any cost-sharing from the member. The bill amends several chapters of the state's General Laws to mandate this coverage in individual and group plans, including hospital service plans, medical service agreements, and health maintenance organization (HMO) contracts. The goal is to improve access to preventative cervical cancer screenings for women in the state.
