Effective January 1, 2023, HB 733 goes into effect in the state of Georgia.
The new law states:
“A health benefits policy that provides coverage for diagnostic examinations for breast cancer shall include provisions that ensure that the cost-sharing requirements applicable to diagnostic and supplemental breast screening examinations are no less favorable than the cost-sharing requirements applicable to screening mammography for breast cancer.”
Requiring insurers who cover diagnostic examinations for breast cancer to treat cost-sharing requirements the same as annual mammograms increases access to potentially life-saving health exams and improves the likelihood of early detection for those tested regularly.
