AI Summary
This bill, effective January 1, 2027, prohibits various types of Arizona health insurance providers, including hospital and medical service corporations, health care services organizations, and disability insurers, from charging patients any out-of-pocket costs, known as "cost sharing," for diagnostic prostate cancer screenings if they are considered "high-risk."
