Introduced by: Jo Ann S. Davis | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Health and related insurance for state employees; State Plan for Medical Assistance Services; mammograms. Requires the state's Medicaid plan to provide coverage for low-dose screening mammograms for determining the presence of occult breast cancer; the coverage makes available one screening mammogram to persons age 35 through 39, one mammogram biennially to persons age 40 through 49, and one such mammogram annually to persons age 50 and over and may be limited to a benefit of $50 per mammogram subject to such dollar limits, deductibles and coinsurance factors as are no less favorable than for physical illness generally. The coverage required by this bill is currently mandated for health care coverage policies, plans and contracts issued by Virginia's insurers, HMOs and corporations furnishing health care subscription contracts. This measure also defines what constitutes a screening mammogram for purposes of the health insurance plan for state employees.
