Bill Summary
Health; to require that coverage for breast cancer screening be provided without charging an insurance deductible or copayment to a beneficiary
AI Summary
This bill requires health benefit plans in Alabama to cover breast cancer screenings without charging the insured any "cost-sharing requirement," which includes deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. This applies to both "supplemental breast examinations," used for screening when no abnormality is suspected but risk factors are present, and "diagnostic breast examinations," used to investigate a suspected abnormality. The bill defines "health benefit plan" broadly to include most insurance policies and contracts that provide health coverage in the state, with specific exclusions for certain limited benefit policies. This change aims to make crucial breast cancer detection services more accessible to residents by removing out-of-pocket costs for these examinations.
