Bill > S2032

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, prohibits insurance companies, including those offering accident and sickness policies, nonprofit hospital and medical service corporations, and health maintenance organizations, from charging patients any out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments, for diagnostic or supplemental breast examinations. Diagnostic breast examinations are defined as medically necessary tests used to investigate an abnormality found during screening or detected by other means, including mammography, MRI, or ultrasound. Supplemental breast examinations are defined as medically necessary screenings, such as MRI or ultrasound, performed when no abnormality is suspected but an individual has a higher risk due to personal or family medical history or other factors.
