Bill > HJR464

This resolution directs the Health Insurance Reform Commission to study mandating insurance coverage for specific cardiovascular disease screening tests for at-risk populations. The study focuses on computed tomography scans measuring coronary artery calcification and ultrasonography scans measuring carotid intima-media thickness and plaque for males aged 45-75 and females aged 55-75 who are diabetic or have an intermediate or higher risk of coronary heart disease based on the Framingham Heart Study coronary prediction algorithm. The Commission will assess the social, financial, and medical impacts of such coverage, including estimating additional health coverage costs and potential implications under the Affordable Care Act. The resolution requires the Commission to complete its meetings by November 30, 2025, and submit an executive summary to the Division of Legislative Automated Systems by the first day of the 2026 Regular Session of the General Assembly, with various state agencies required to provide assistance in conducting the study.
