Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Most health plans must cover lung screening

If your plan covers lung cancer treatment, it must also cover lung cancer screening. Screening must follow American Cancer Society or other national, evidence‑based guidelines. This applies to policies and plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. Any plan terms that conflict with this rule are void. This does not apply to managed‑care plans serving Medicaid or CHIP under state contracts.

Stronger oversight of insurers on screening

The Insurance Commissioner can require some policies sold to out‑of‑state residents by Nevada‑based insurers to follow Nevada rules if the other state does not review them. This includes the new lung cancer screening coverage. The Commissioner can suspend or revoke an HMO’s or insurer’s license if it fails to provide the required screening. These powers apply starting January 1, 2026.
