Requires insurers and SHBP to provide coverage for expenses incurred in screening for ovarian cancer.
This bill requires New Jersey insurers and health plans to cover ovarian cancer screening for women with symptoms or at higher risk, including annual pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and blood marker tests. It applies to most individual and group health insurance policies, health maintenance organizations, and health benefits plans sold in the state. Coverage must be provided at the same level as other medical conditions under the policy, without additional cost-sharing. The law applies to policies where insurers retain the right to adjust premiums.
