Bill Summary

CONCERNING REQUIRING HEALTH-CARE COVERAGE FOR BIOMARKER TESTING.

AI Summary

This bill requires all large group, individual, and small group health benefit plans in Colorado to provide coverage for biomarker testing that is supported by medical and scientific evidence, including FDA-approved or cleared tests, tests indicated for FDA-approved drugs, and those recommended in national guidelines or peer-reviewed studies. The coverage is subject to annual deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance requirements, but not annual or lifetime maximums. The bill also requires the state Division of Insurance to seek confirmation from the federal government that the required coverage does not constitute an additional benefit that would require state defrayal, and the division must implement the provisions accordingly for large group plans starting in 2025 and for individual and small group plans 12 months after receiving federal confirmation or the federal government's failure to respond.
