Bill > H1025

This bill aims to promote cancer screenings for firefighters. It amends the state's general laws to require that any permanent, full-time, call, volunteer, intermittent, part-time, or reserve firefighter can participate in initial or subsequent cancer screenings recommended by the American Cancer Society, upon referral from their primary care physician. These screenings will be considered medically necessary for the purposes of coverage by any insurance plan, including those under the state's health insurance laws. Additionally, the bill specifies that these cancer screening services will not be subject to any cost-sharing requirements such as co-payments, deductibles, or coinsurance.
