AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts, including those provided to state employees, to cover various colorectal cancer screening methods starting at age 50 with no cost-sharing for the insured. It stipulates that insurers cannot charge any additional fees for associated services like tissue removal, lab work, facility use, or anesthesia. The bill aims to ensure access to these important preventative screenings, especially in light of potential repeal of the federal Affordable Care Act's colorectal cancer screening mandate.
