AN ACT DEFINING BREAST ULTRASOUND AS A SCREENING PROCEDURE FOR INSUREDS.

SB 450 defines breast ultrasound as a covered screening procedure for individuals with health insurance. It amends two specific sections of state law (38a-503 and 38a-530) to explicitly include breast ultrasound under the definition of "screening procedure" for insureds. This means health insurance plans must cover breast ultrasounds as a standard screening service, directly affecting people enrolled in those plans who require this medical screening. The bill clarifies existing coverage requirements without changing benefit amounts or costs.
