This bill introduces a new section to chapter 54-52.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, establishing cost-sharing restrictions for diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations. It defines "diagnostic breast examination" and "supplemental breast examination," outlining the types of medically necessary procedures included under these terms. The bill mandates that health insurance coverage provided by the board cannot impose any out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles or copayments, for these examinations, with an exception for high-deductible health plans that may require the minimum deductible to be met before the cost-sharing restrictions apply.

Additionally, the bill requires the public employees retirement system to prepare a report for the legislative assembly regarding the impact of these cost-sharing restrictions on health insurance programs, including utilization and costs. The provisions of this Act will apply to health benefits coverage starting after June 30, 2025, and will remain effective until June 30, 2027, at which point it will expire unless extended by future legislation.
