Coverage for certain diagnostic and screening colorectal cancer tests required, early colorectal cancer screening required, and education program developed.

HF 95 requires all health insurance plans sold in Minnesota to cover colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic tests (like colonoscopies and stool tests) without cost-sharing (such as co-pays or deductibles) for every Minnesota resident, regardless of age. It directly affects health insurance plans and all Minnesotans needing these screenings, ensuring access to early detection. The bill also mandates the state health commissioner to develop an education program promoting awareness of colorectal cancer risks, screening options, and prevention through clinics and social media. These coverage requirements take effect January 1, 2026, for new or renewed plans.
