SB189

Hawaii SB189 mandates insurance coverage for early breast cancer screenings to reduce incidences and related deaths.

Hawaii SB189 aims to reduce breast cancer incidences and related deaths by mandating insurance coverage for early screenings. It requires coverage for low-dose mammography for women aged forty and older annually and for women of any age with a higher risk of breast cancer. Supplemental imaging, such as breast magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, or digital breast tomosynthesis, is also covered if deemed medically necessary. The bill ensures that coverage extends to adopted children from birth and mandates coverage for services performed by licensed psychologists.
