Requires health insurance carriers to cover genetic testing after diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

This New Jersey bill requires all health insurance plans in the state to cover genetic testing for individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The law applies to hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health service corporations, and individual health insurance policies issued or renewed after the bill takes effect. Genetic testing includes tests that examine DNA, RNA, chromosomes, or proteins to identify mutations linked to pancreatic cancer and guide treatment decisions. The bill mandates that these tests be covered to the same extent as other medical conditions under each insurance contract.
