OH HB134

Health insuring corporations must offer coverage for examinations and laboratory tests for prostate, colorectal, ovarian, and cervical cancer screening as supplemental health care services.

Insurance companies providing sickness and accident insurance and public employee benefit plans must offer to provide benefits for the same four cancer screening examinations.

Ohio's Medicaid program must include coverage for examinations and laboratory tests for prostate, colorectal, ovarian, and cervical cancer screening.

Screening benefits must be offered to nonsymptomatic individuals for whom the most recently published American Cancer Society guidelines recommend screening based on age, health, and other risk factors.

Screening benefits must follow the same terms, conditions, and copayment charges as similar benefits under the existing policy or plan; exemptions apply to disease-specific, accident-only, hospital indemnity, and Medicare supplement policies.
