Ensures ovarian cancer survivors have the right to access screenings for health conditions
This bill guarantees ovarian cancer survivors can access necessary genetic testing without insurance restrictions. It requires coverage for specific tests including BRCA1/BRCA2 gene analysis, Lynch syndrome screening, and other mutation tests as determined by a doctor. Insurers cannot impose frequency limits or deny these tests based on a patient’s cancer history. The law directly affects survivors needing ongoing monitoring for inherited cancer risks, ensuring they receive medically appropriate genetic screenings.
