New Jersey S1583 provides access to periodic cancer screening examinations for volunteer firefighters through SHBP physicians and other providers.

New Jersey S1583 ensures volunteer firefighters receive periodic cancer screening examinations through physicians in the State Health Benefits Program network. These examinations, covering cancers such as colon, lung, bladder, and others, are offered every three years after the start of service and thereafter. The bill mandates that these screenings be provided without any cost-sharing, including co-payments, deductibles, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket expenses.
