Creates provisions relating to insurance coverage of preventative healthcare services
Second Read and Referred S Insurance and Banking Committee
Summary
The bill would require any health benefit plan issued or renewed on or after Jan. 1, 2026 to pay for preventive services that the USPSTF rates A or B, CDC‑recommended immunizations, and HRSA‑backed screenings with no copays or coinsurance. Plans could still charge cost‑sharing for out‑of‑network providers, and high‑deductible plans may apply the deductible unless the regulator exempts the service. An advisory committee of providers and insurers would meet each year to suggest updates.
