AI Summary
This bill requires health care service plans and health insurance policies issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, to cover annual cervical cancer screening home test kits without any cost-sharing, such as deductibles or copayments, when recommended by a healthcare provider. It also mandates that the Medi-Cal program, which provides health care services to low-income individuals, cover these home test kits without cost-sharing for beneficiaries starting January 1, 2027, to the extent allowed by federal law. The bill amends existing laws regulating health care service plans (like HMOs), health insurance policies, and the Medi-Cal program to include these new coverage requirements for cervical cancer screening.
