Health care insurance; to eliminate cost-sharing for screening of men who are at high risk for prostate cancer

Summary

The bill changes Alabama law so that health insurance policies must pay for prostate‑specific antigen tests and digital rectal exams without deductibles, copays, or coinsurance for all men older than 50 and for younger men who are considered high‑risk. High‑risk is defined as African‑American men or those with a family history, certain related cancers, or a known genetic marker. This aims to improve early detection of prostate cancer and reduce financial barriers.
