Coverage for certain diagnostic and screening colorectal cancer tests required, early colorectal cancer screening required, and education program developed.
AI Generated Summary
This bill in Minnesota requires that all health insurance policies include coverage for certain diagnostic and screening tests for colorectal cancer. It also mandates the development of an educational program to promote early screening for colorectal cancer. The bill amends existing statutes to ensure these provisions are included in health plans offered to Minnesota residents, requiring coverage for a variety of cancer screening procedures such as mammograms, tests for ovarian cancer in at-risk women, pap smears, and now, explicitly, colorectal screenings for both men and women when recommended by a physician.
