Requires health insurance policies to cover Cologuard colorectal cancer screening tests.

Mississippi HB1061 mandates that health insurance policies and contracts must provide coverage for Cologuard colorectal cancer screening tests. The bill ensures that individuals cannot be required to pay higher deductibles or coinsurance for these tests compared to other medical services. It also stipulates that group health plans or insurers do not need to refer individuals to nonparticipating providers for these tests unless no participating providers are available and accessible.
