Group health insurance plans; require coverage for genetic testing and evidenced-based imaging.
SB 2400 would require most health insurance plans in Mississippi to cover genetic testing for inherited cancer risks and evidence-based cancer imaging for people with a personal or family cancer history or elevated cancer risk, as recommended by healthcare providers. This coverage would be provided without cost-sharing (like deductibles or copays) and must follow guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The law would apply to plans delivered or renewed after July 1, 2025. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
