Bill > HF3330

This bill requires health plans in Minnesota to provide coverage for rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) for individuals 21 years of age or younger who have a complex or acute illness of unknown etiology and are receiving inpatient hospital services. The coverage criteria include symptoms that suggest a broad differential diagnosis, timely identification of a molecular diagnosis to guide clinical decision-making, and specific conditions that may indicate the need for rWGS. The bill also specifies that genetic data generated from the rWGS testing is protected health information and must be used primarily to assist the provider and care team in diagnosing and treating the patient. The provisions of this bill will take effect on January 1, 2025, and apply to health plans offered, issued, or sold on or after that date.
