Pennsylvania SB447 requires health insurance policies to cover prostate cancer screenings for high-risk individuals.
Pennsylvania SB447 mandates that health insurance policies offered, issued, or renewed in the state cover all expenses related to prostate cancer screenings at least annually for individuals aged forty and older who are at high risk of developing prostate cancer. High risk is determined by factors such as a diagnosis of a genetic alteration or cancer associated with increased risk of prostate cancer, family history of prostate cancer, or other factors deemed medically appropriate by a physician. The coverage for these screenings is not subject to cost-sharing.
