Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize annual lung cancer screenings for firefighters. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires annual lung cancer screenings for firefighters. It amends Massachusetts state law to allow any type of firefighter, including permanent, full-time, call, volunteer, intermittent, part-time, or reserve, to participate in initial and subsequent lung cancer screenings recommended by the American Cancer Society, upon referral from their primary care physician. The screenings must be covered by the firefighter's insurance plan, including under state health insurance programs, and cannot be subject to any cost-sharing requirements like co-payments or deductibles.
