Coverage of cancer imaging and clinical genetic testing requirement

This bill requires most health insurance plans in Minnesota to cover cancer imaging and clinical genetic testing without cost-sharing (like deductibles or copays) for specific patients. It directly affects Minnesotans with a personal or family history of cancer who need these services, as determined by evidence-based guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). Health plans must cover: (1) cancer imaging for those at increased risk, and (2) genetic testing for inherited cancer mutations recommended by a doctor. The law takes effect January 1, 2026, for plans offered or renewed after that date.
