Bill overview
This bill requires certain private health insurance and health plan policies to cover lung cancer screening, aligning with guidelines from the American Cancer Society or other nationally recognized professional organizations. It also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services conduct a study to assess whether current screening criteria create inequities based on sex or gender identity. The bill includes provisions for the Commissioner of Insurance to enforce these requirements and address non-compliance, while exempting Medicaid managed care organizations. Additionally, it authorizes the Commissioner to ensure that policies issued to residents of other states meet Nevada’s screening coverage standards.
