Introduced Text

Massachusetts H4933 mandates coverage for colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 30 and above.

Massachusetts H4933 amends the state's General Laws to require coverage for colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 30 and above. This includes various screening methods such as flexible sigmoidoscopy, FIT-DNA, FIT, HSgFOBT, CT colonography, and colonoscopy. The bill ensures that these screenings are not subject to co-payments, deductibles, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing requirements, except in cases where the plan is governed by the Federal Internal Revenue Code and would lose its tax-exempt status.
