Nevada SB387 requires certain health insurance and health plans to cover annual lung cancer screenings and follow-up testing without a deductible.

Nevada SB387 mandates that certain health insurance and health plans, including Medicaid, cover an annual lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography for individuals aged 50 to 80 with a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years, or those meeting additional criteria set by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. It also requires coverage for additional screening or diagnostic services recommended by a qualified provider based on the initial screening results. The bill prohibits insurers from requiring deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance for these benefits.
