Louisiana HB1196 amends health insurance coverage to include colorectal cancer screening colonoscopies and associated preventive services. It defines "routine colorectal cancer screening" based on the latest recommendations from the American Cancer Society or the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The law classifies any colonoscopy performed for colorectal cancer screening as a screening service, regardless of whether a polyp or other tissue is removed. It also considers any subsequent colonoscopy recommended by a healthcare provider after a screening colonoscopy as a screening service.
