Overview
This bill creates a program within the New Jersey Department of Health to increase awareness and access to lung cancer screening for first responders and veterans. It aims to educate these populations about lung cancer risk, eligibility for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening, and available services. The program will distribute educational materials, maintain a directory of screening facilities, and establish referral protocols to facilitate access to screening, all while respecting privacy and avoiding mandated insurance benefits.
