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 affect eligibility for health savings accounts.

Additionally, the bill requires the public employees retirement system to report to the legislative assembly on the impact of these cost-sharing restrictions, including utilization and costs, and to recommend whether the restrictions should continue. The provisions of this Act will apply to health benefits coverage starting after June 30, 2025, and will expire on June 30, 2027, unless extended by future legislation.
