Requires insurers and SHBP to provide coverage for expenses incurred in screening for ovarian cancer.
This bill requires health insurance plans in New Jersey to cover medically necessary ovarian cancer screening for symptomatic women or those at high risk. It mandates coverage for specific tests including annual pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and blood marker tests, on the same terms as other medical conditions. The law applies to individual/group health insurance policies, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), and state health benefit plans purchased by the State Health Benefits Commission. It takes effect for policies issued or renewed after the bill's effective date.
