Bill > HB27

This bill aims to expand health coverage for breast examinations in New Mexico. Specifically, it prohibits cost-sharing (deductibles, coinsurance, copayments) for "diagnostic" breast examinations, which are used to evaluate abnormalities detected during screening, and "supplemental" breast examinations, which are used to screen for breast cancer in individuals with increased risk factors. The bill applies to various types of health plans, including group, individual, and HMO plans, but exempts certain high-deductible and catastrophic plans until the deductible is met. The bill also amends existing state law to maintain coverage for routine screening mammograms. The provisions of this bill would apply to health plans delivered, issued, or renewed in New Mexico on or after January 1, 2024.
