CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1047 - This act requires health benefit plans to provide coverage for genetic testing and genetic counseling, as defined in the act, of individuals who are at increased risk of potentially harmful mutations to the BRCA gene due to a personal or family history of certain cancers.
The act prohibits insurers from using these tests and counseling in underwriting decisions such as calculating premiums or determining coverage, and prohibits insurers from imposing cost-sharing with regard to the required coverage.
This act is identical to HB 2394 (2024).
