No out-of-pocket costs for covered cervical screenings

Oregon group and individual health plans that cover cervical cancer screening cannot charge patients for medically necessary screenings. This means no deductible, copay, coinsurance, or other out-of-pocket charge. The protection also covers medically necessary follow-up exams after abnormal results, including colposcopy, biopsy, and additional cervical-cell or HPV tests. Follow-up exams qualify even when they reuse earlier samples or happen on a different date. The cost-sharing ban does not apply to services mainly used to treat diagnosed cervical cancer. It applies to policies issued, renewed, or extended on or after the law’s effective date. Self-insured Public Employees’ Benefit Board and Oregon Educators Benefit Board plans follow it for plan periods beginning on or after that date. The source does not specify the effective date.
