Title

Health; to require that coverage for breast cancer screening be provided without charging an insured a deductible or copayment

Description

Existing Alabama law requires health insurers to cover mammography to screen for breast cancer in women 40 years of age and over.

Furthermore, health benefit plans that are subject to the requirements of the federal Affordable Care Act must cover screening mammography for women 40 years of age and over without requiring them to share any of the cost through a deductible, copayment, or coinsurance.

This bill would require that any health benefit plan issued in the state which covers screening for breast cancer or diagnostic imaging of abnormalities in the breast provide such coverage without requiring the beneficiary to share the cost.
