Health insurance; require policies to cover Cologuard colorectal cancer screening tests.

Summary

The bill would require private and group health insurance policies issued on or after July 1, 2026 to cover the Cologuard colorectal cancer screening test, and it amends state law so the State and School Employees Health Insurance Plan also includes that coverage. It limits deductibles and coinsurance for the test to be no higher than for comparable services and mandates reimbursement at least equal to Medicare rates. The measure is intended to improve early detection of colorectal cancer for Mississippi residents and state employees.
