Alabama patients pay less for breast exams

Beginning January 1, 2027, covered supplemental and diagnostic breast exams have no deductibles, copays, coinsurance, or similar charges. This protection applies to health plans issued, delivered, or renewed in Alabama that cover Alabama residents. Diagnostic exams must be medically necessary to check an abnormality seen or suspected during screening or another exam. Supplemental exams must be medically necessary, physician-recommended screenings when no abnormality is seen, based on risks like dense breast tissue or family history. The law does not require plans to cover these exams. It excludes accident-only, specified-disease, hospital indemnity, credit, dental-only, Medicare supplement, long-term care, disability income, and other limited-benefit policies. It also excludes coverage supplemental to liability insurance, workers’ compensation, or automobile medical payments insurance.
