MA H1076

Requires all Massachusetts health insurers, including the Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and private insurers, to cover colorectal cancer screening starting at age 30 when deemed medically necessary by a primary care physician

Mandates coverage for multiple screening methods: flexible sigmoidoscopy (every 5-10 years), colonoscopy (every 5-10 years), CT colonography (every 5 years), FIT and FIT-DNA tests (annually or every 3 years), HSgFOBT (annually), and KRAS/BRAF/PIK3CA genetic testing as needed

Prohibits all cost-sharing for colorectal cancer screenings, including co-payments, deductibles, and coinsurance

Eliminates additional charges for associated services including tissue removal, laboratory services, physician services, facility use, and anesthesia

Amends six chapters of Massachusetts General Laws (32A, 118E, 175, 176A, 176B, and 176G) to ensure coverage across state employee plans, Medicaid, and all private insurance types
