- Title
- Health care insurance; to eliminate cost-sharing for screening of men who are at high risk for prostate cancer
- Description
Under existing law, health insurance plans are required to cover annual screening of men over 40 years of age for the early detection of prostate cancer.
This bill would recognize that African American men and men who have a first degree relative who has had prostate cancer are at high risk for the disease.
This bill would also require that coverage for screening of high-risk men and all older men be provided without deductibles, copayments, or other cost-sharing requirements.
