Requires health insurers to cover colorectal cancer screenings for covered persons aged 33 or over and covered persons under the age of 33 if deemed medically necessary.

Summary

The bill mandates that all New Jersey health insurance contracts pay for one colorectal cancer screening each year for members aged 33 or older, and for younger members if a doctor deems it medically necessary. It also removes any deductible, coinsurance, or copayment for a follow‑up colonoscopy after a positive screening result. The aim is to improve early detection and lower out‑of‑pocket costs for patients.
