Bill Summary

CONCERNING INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR PREVENTIVE BREAST CANCER EXAMINATIONS.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Colorado insurance regulations to expand and clarify coverage for breast cancer screenings. The bill requires insurance policies to cover annual breast cancer screening studies using noninvasive imaging modalities recommended by professional medical organizations like the American College of Radiology or the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Specifically, the bill mandates coverage for individuals with at least one breast cancer risk factor, such as being 40 years or older, having a family history of breast cancer, or possessing an increased lifetime risk determined by clinical risk assessment models. The coverage must include diagnostic examinations to evaluate breast abnormalities and supplemental examinations for individuals with high-risk factors, including those with dense breast tissue. Importantly, these screenings and diagnostic services must be provided without cost-sharing requirements like deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. The bill also ensures that these provisions do not negatively impact an individual's health savings account contributions and covers a wide range of imaging techniques, including mammography, breast MRI, ultrasound, and molecular breast imaging. The legislation aims to improve early detection of breast cancer by making screenings more accessible and affordable for at-risk individuals.
