Introduced Text

Lowers age at which certain insurers are required to provide coverage for mammograms.

The bill mandates that health insurers in New Jersey provide coverage for mammograms for women starting at age 35. Previously, coverage was required for women 40 years of age or older. The bill also requires insurers to cover additional screening and diagnostic testing under certain conditions, such as extremely dense breast tissue or abnormal mammograms. These provisions apply to various types of insurers, including health, hospital, and medical service corporations, as well as individual and group health insurers.
