Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care, and makes a willful violation of its provisions a crime. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires every health care service plan contract and health insurance policy to provide coverage for screening for, diagnosis of, and treatment for, breast cancer, consistent with generally accepted medical practice and scientific evidence, upon the referral of the enrollee's or insured's participating physician. Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to perform various health functions, including providing breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment for low-income individuals. This bill would require health care service plans, health insurers, and the State Department of Health Care Services to cover breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility screening as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. By creating a new crime with respect to health care service plans, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
