Bill Summary
Relative to insurance coverage for mammograms and breast cancer screening. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure equity and early detection of breast cancer by requiring health insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for diagnostic examinations and digital breast tomosynthesis screening on a basis not less favorable than screening mammograms. The bill defines "diagnostic examinations for breast cancer" as medically necessary evaluations of abnormalities detected through screening or other means. It also exempts high-deductible health plans from certain cost-sharing requirements, but this exemption does not apply to preventive care coverage. The provisions of the bill will take effect for all contracts entered into, renewed, or amended on or after January 1, 2025.
