INS CD-CANCER SCREENINGS
Summary
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. In a provision concerning coverage of certain cancer screenings, adds having a high level of CA-125, as indicated by a blood test screening, to the definition of "at risk for ovarian cancer". Provides that "surveillance tests for ovarian cancer" means all medically viable methods for the detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer, including, but not limited to, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs), x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and CA-125 blood test screenings (instead of an annual screening using (i) CA-125 serum tumor marker testing, (ii) transvaginal ultrasound, (iii) pelvic examination). Effective January 1, 2028.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized by changing the effective date from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2028, and adding a new requirement for ovarian cancer screening coverage. The original mandate for free prostate cancer screening was removed, while a new mandate requiring coverage for specific ovarian cancer tests was added, though this new coverage allows for deductibles and cost-sharing.
Scope change
The bill now applies to insurance policies renewed or issued on or after January 1, 2028, instead of the previously proposed 2024 date. The scope of mandatory coverage was narrowed for prostate cancer but expanded to include specific ovarian cancer screenings.
TIMELINE
The effective date of the Act was delayed from January 1, 2023, to January 1, 2028.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for insurance to cover prostate cancer screenings without any deductible or cost-sharing was removed.
A new requirement was added for insurance to cover specific ovarian cancer screenings (CA-125 blood tests, transvaginal ultrasounds, and pelvic exams) for at-risk individuals.
The new ovarian cancer screening coverage is permitted to have deductibles, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing, unlike the previously proposed free prostate cancer coverage.
DEFINITION
A new definition for 'Surveillance tests for ovarian cancer' was added to specify the exact tests required under the new mandate.
