Bill > HB1112

This bill mandates comprehensive coverage for breast cancer screening and diagnostic services for state employees, insurance policy holders, and health maintenance organization (HMO) enrollees. The bill requires that state health plans, insurance policies, and HMO contracts cover diagnostic breast examinations and supplemental breast examinations without any cost-sharing requirements, such as deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. It defines key terms like "supplemental breast examination" as a medically necessary breast screening used to detect potential cancer risks based on personal or family medical history, and "diagnostic breast examination" as an evaluation of a detected or suspected breast abnormality. The coverage includes baseline and annual mammography screenings for women at different age ranges and risk levels, additional mammography views, ultrasound services when medically necessary, and supplemental breast examinations. The bill applies to both employer-based and non-employer-based health coverage, ensuring that women have access to comprehensive breast cancer screening services without financial barriers. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving health providers and insurers time to prepare for the new requirements.
