S 2525 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

This bill requires health insurers in New Jersey to cover mammograms for women starting at age 18, rather than the current requirement of age 40. It also mandates coverage for additional imaging tests like ultrasounds, MRIs, and 3D mammograms when medically necessary due to breast density, abnormal results, or risk factors such as family history or genetic testing. The law applies to all health insurance plans, including individual, group, and state health benefit programs. Coverage must be provided at the same level as for other medical conditions. This represents a significant expansion of breast cancer screening requirements for women in New Jersey.
