Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal health insurance law so that group health plans and individual and group health insurers must cover prostate cancer screenings for certain men without charging cost-sharing such as copays or deductibles. The requirement applies to men age 40 and over who are at high risk of prostate cancer, including African-American men and men with a family history of the disease. The bill defines family history as having a first-degree relative who was diagnosed with or died from prostate cancer, had a related cancer, or has a related genetic change. The changes would apply to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
