A 2067 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires health insurers to provide coverage for certain imaging related to breast cancer detection.

This bill requires New Jersey health insurers to cover mammograms for women starting at age 18, rather than the current age 40 requirement. It also mandates coverage for additional imaging tests like ultrasounds, MRIs, or 3D mammograms when medically necessary based on breast density, abnormal results, or risk factors such as family history of breast cancer. The coverage applies to all health insurance plans in New Jersey, including individual, group, and state health benefit plans, requiring insurers to cover these services to the same extent as other medical conditions. Insurers can still review medical necessity for additional tests through utilization review processes.
