This bill requires health benefit plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, 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 genes due to a personal or family history of certain cancers.
This 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 SCS SB 406 (2025), SB 1047 (2024), and HB 2394 (2024).
