West Virginia SB518 eliminates cost-sharing for diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations.

West Virginia SB518 mandates that health benefit policies issued by insurers in the state do not impose cost-sharing requirements for diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations. These examinations include breast MRI, breast ultrasound, and diagnostic mammograms used to evaluate abnormalities. The bill applies to policies issued on or after January 1, 2027. It also addresses potential conflicts with Health Savings Account eligibility under federal law. The Insurance Commissioner can propose rules for legislative approval to implement these provisions.
