The bill amends the Michigan insurance code to require that health insurance policies delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in the state must include coverage for at least one pap smear for women aged 21 and older every three calendar years. This provision aims to ensure that women have access to essential gynecological care without financial barriers.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the coverage for the pap smear must not be subject to any dollar limit, copayment, deductible, or coinsurance provisions that typically apply to screening coverage. This ensures that women can receive this important preventive service without incurring additional costs, thereby promoting better health outcomes.
