New Jersey A4916 requires health insurers to cover colorectal cancer screenings for individuals aged 33 and over, and for those under 33 if deemed medically necessary by their physician. The screenings must follow the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommendations. Additionally, the bill prohibits any cost-sharing requirements for colonoscopies performed after a positive result from a non-colonoscopy screening test. The benefits for these screenings must be provided to the same extent as for any other medical condition under the health insurance policy.
