Insurance; group or individual accident and sickness plans; provisions

Summary

The bill adds new rules that any individual or group health policy, employer‑sponsored plan, or Medicaid program must pay for a peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening at least once a year for people who meet defined risk criteria. The coverage is subject to the same deductibles and co‑payments as other benefits, and self‑funded ERISA plans are exempt. It aims to improve early detection of PAD, a condition linked to higher rates of heart attack, stroke, amputation and death.
