A 2152 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires health insurers to provide coverage for certain imaging related to breast cancer detection.

This bill requires New Jersey health insurers to cover specific breast cancer detection services for all women with health insurance in the state. It mandates coverage for a baseline mammogram starting at age 18 (previously 40), annual mammograms for women 18 and older, and additional imaging like ultrasounds or MRIs when medically necessary due to dense breast tissue, abnormal results, family history, genetic factors, or other risk indicators. The coverage applies to all group and individual health insurance contracts and must be provided at the same level as other medical benefits. The bill updates existing law to expand access to early detection screenings based on current medical guidelines.
