An Act to promote cancer screenings for firefighters
This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to cover cancer screenings for all types of firefighters without charging any fees or deductibles. It specifically ensures that firefighters can access recommended screenings from the American Cancer Society after a referral from their primary care doctor. The law applies to coverage under various state insurance programs, including those for full-time, part-time, volunteer, and reserve firefighters. By removing cost-sharing requirements, the legislation aims to make these essential health services fully accessible to the firefighting community.
