AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE POLICIES

Summary

The bill adds new sections to Rhode Island’s insurance statutes that define diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations and require that any group health plan or insurer offering group or individual coverage cannot charge deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance for these exams. It applies to all plans that already cover breast cancer screening, diagnostic, or supplemental exams, ensuring patients pay nothing out‑of‑pocket for them. The measure aims to improve access to essential breast cancer detection services.
