Existing law requires most health insurance plans, including individual, group and blanket health insurance policies, small employer plans, benefit contracts provided by fraternal benefit societies, contracts for hospital or medical service, health care plans of health maintenance organizations and plans issued by managed care organizations to include coverage for mammograms. (NRS 689A.0405, 689B.0374, 689C.1674, 695A.1855, 695B.1912, 695C.1735, 695G.1713) Sections 1-5, 6 and 7 of this bill revise existing provisions requiring coverage for mammograms to require such policies, plans and contracts of health care to additionally provide coverage for imaging tests to screen for breast cancer and diagnostic imaging tests for breast cancer for certain covered persons without requiring any deductible, copayment, coinsurance or any other form of cost-sharing, except under certain circumstances relating to the eligibility of health savings accounts associated with policies, plans and contracts of health care that have high deductibles. Sections 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8 of this bill make various changes to exclude the Public Employees' Benefits Program and plans of self-insurance for employees of local governments from the requirements of this bill and, thus, the Program and such plans may, but are not required to, provide the coverage set forth in this bill. Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this bill make changes necessary so that requirements concerning mammograms that currently apply to the Program and plans of self-insurance for employees of local governments continue to apply to the Program and such plans. Sections 7.7 and 7.9 of this bill make conforming changes to indicate the proper placement of sections 7.2 and 7.3, respectively, in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
