Massachusetts H1117 prohibits insurance policies from imposing deductibles or out-of-pocket costs on initial colorectal and breast cancer screenings.

Massachusetts H1117 amends the General Laws to ensure that insurance policies, contracts, and certificates within the state do not impose deductibles or out-of-pocket costs on initial colorectal and breast cancer screenings. This includes screening colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopies, and mammograms. The bill also prohibits these costs for any additional screenings ordered in a policy year by a physician. This change aims to reduce financial barriers for individuals seeking preventive cancer screenings.
