An act relating to health insurance coverage for diagnostic breast imaging

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This act amends an existing health insurance coverage requirement for mammograms to also require health plans to cover other medically necessary breast imaging services upon recommendation of a health care provider as needed to detect the presence of breast cancer and other abnormalities of the breast or breast tissue. The act specifies that the plan must cover the full cost of the imaging service without any patient cost-sharing, except to the extent that such coverage would cause a high-deductible health plan to lose its eligibility for a health savings account under federal law.
