Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania insurance law to expand and clarify coverage requirements for mammographic examinations and breast imaging. The bill requires health insurance policies to provide comprehensive coverage for mammograms, including annual mammograms for individuals 40 years and older and mammograms based on physician recommendation for those under 40. It mandates coverage for diagnostic breast examinations that evaluate abnormalities and supplemental breast screenings for individuals at increased risk of breast cancer, which can be determined by factors like personal or family history of breast cancer, genetic predispositions, radiation exposure, or breast tissue density. The bill defines "all costs" as including deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments, and requires insurers to verify that mammography service providers are properly licensed. The legislation will apply to new or renewed health insurance policies, with implementation timelines varying based on whether policy forms and rates are federally or state-regulated. Importantly, the bill updates language to use gender-neutral terms like "individuals" instead of "women" and provides detailed definitions of diagnostic and supplemental breast screenings, reflecting a more inclusive approach to breast health coverage.
