AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR BIOMARKER TESTING.
This bill (HB 6355) requires all individual and group health insurance plans in the state to cover biomarker testing without additional patient costs. It directly affects health insurance policyholders and insurers by mandating coverage for medical tests that detect biological markers (like proteins or genes) used to diagnose or monitor conditions such as cancer. The key provision amends insurance statutes to ensure this testing is included as a covered benefit under standard plans. This is a concrete policy change that would expand access to specific diagnostic tools for insured individuals.
