An Act relative to colorectal and breast cancer screenings

This bill requires all health insurance plans sold in Massachusetts to cover colorectal and breast cancer screenings without cost-sharing. Specifically, it prohibits deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance for both the initial screening (like a colonoscopy or mammogram) and any additional screenings ordered by a doctor within the same policy year. The law applies to all individual and group health insurance plans, including employer-sponsored coverage and state employee plans. It directly affects insured Massachusetts residents by ensuring these preventive screenings are fully covered at no out-of-pocket cost.
