SB475 provides state-funded colorectal cancer screenings for uninsured residents and those with cost-sharing coverage.
SB475 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish a state-funded program for colorectal cancer screenings. The Department of Human Services will provide financial assistance for screenings to residents who are uninsured or have coverage with cost-sharing. The screenings must meet Affordable Care Act requirements and those recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The Act also mandates that health insurance providers inform policyholders about the risks of undiagnosed colorectal cancer and encourage them to consult with their physicians about screening options.
