An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in miscellaneous provisions relating to emergency management services, providing for health screenings for firefighters and EMS providers.

This bill requires full-time firefighters and emergency medical services providers in Pennsylvania to undergo specific health screenings every three years. The law mandates that these exams, which cover various cancers and cardiovascular conditions, be conducted by a physician and include tests such as echocardiograms and prostate or HPV screenings depending on gender. Employers must ensure that all costs for these screenings, including deductibles and copayments, are fully covered by their health benefits plans or insurance funds. The legislation defines EMS providers to include various roles such as paramedics and prehospital nurses to ensure broad coverage for those working in emergency response.
