Pennsylvania HB281 mandates annual prostate cancer screening coverage for high-risk individuals in health insurance policies.
Pennsylvania HB281 amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require health insurance policies to cover prostate cancer screenings at least annually for individuals aged 40 and older who are at high risk. High risk is defined by a family history of prostate cancer, a genetic alteration or cancer linked to increased risk, or other factors deemed medically appropriate by a physician. This coverage applies to all expenses related to prostate-specific antigen tests and digital rectal examinations without cost-sharing. The act takes effect 60 days after enactment.
