Provides screening for Cytomegalovirus for persons who are pregnant
This bill requires health insurance policies that cover hospital, surgical, medical, or major medical services to include screening for Cytomegalovirus for pregnant individuals. It directly affects insurance companies by mandating that their plans provide this specific coverage starting January 1, 2027, for any policies issued, renewed, or modified on or after that date. The legislation ensures that pregnant people can access testing for this virus as part of their standard medical benefits without needing to pay extra out of pocket.
