Overview
This bill aims to provide volunteer firefighters in New Jersey with access to periodic cancer screenings. It requires physicians participating in the State Health Benefits Program to offer these screenings to volunteer firefighters every three years after starting their service. The screenings would include a range of cancers, and firefighters would not be required to pay any co-pays or out-of-pocket expenses. The state will cover the cost of these screenings up to $1,250 every three years per firefighter.
