Enacts provisions relating to insurance coverage of genetic screenings for cancer risk
SB 824 requires health insurance plans to cover genetic screenings for cancer risk without cost-sharing for patients. This bill directly affects insurance companies, mandating them to include these screenings as a standard benefit, and patients seeking preventive cancer risk assessments. The key provision is the requirement that insurers cover these screenings at no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. The bill applies broadly to genetic screenings assessing cancer risk but does not specify particular cancers or testing methods.
