An Act relative to colon cancer screening

HD 3701 requires comprehensive colorectal cancer screening coverage with no out-of-pocket costs for specific groups starting at age 30. It mandates coverage for state employees (via Chapter 32A), Medicaid recipients (Chapter 118E), and private insurance policyholders (Chapters 175, 176A, 176B) using multiple screening methods like colonoscopy, FIT stool tests, and CT colonography. The bill prohibits co-pays, deductibles, or additional charges for all related services, including lab work, physician visits, and polyp removal during screening. It directly affects insured individuals aged 30+ in these coverage categories by ensuring free, medically necessary screening under their existing plans.
