Bill > H4946

This bill mandates that public employers in Massachusetts must provide full-time paid firefighters with cancer screening examinations, starting three years after their employment begins and every three years thereafter, covering specific cancers such as colon, lung, bladder, and breast cancer, with all associated costs covered by the employer's health care benefits plan or program, meaning firefighters will not have to pay any co-payments, deductibles, or other out-of-pocket expenses for these screenings, unless such a prohibition would jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the health plan under federal law.
