This bill requires health benefit plans delivered, issued for delivery, continued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, to provide coverage for genetic testing and "genetic counseling", as defined in the bill, of individuals who are at increased risk of potentially harmful mutations to the BRCA gene due to a personal or family history of certain cancers.
The bill prohibits insurers from using these tests and counseling in underwriting decisions such as calculating premiums or determining coverage, and prohibits insurers from imposing cost- sharing with regard to the required coverage.
This bill is similar to SB 1047 (2024).
