SB 5396 – Washington

Status: Enacted
Year Introduced: 2023
Link: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5396&Year=2023&Initiative=false

For nongrandfathered health plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2024, that include coverage of supplemental and diagnostic breast examinations, health carriers may not impose cost sharing on these examinations. For health plans that are offered as a qualifying health plan for a health savings account, the health carrier must establish the plan’s cost sharing for coverage of these examinations at the minimum level necessary to preserve the enrollee’s ability to claim tax exempt contributions from their health savings account under federal laws and regulations. The provisions related to preventing deductible and copayment provisions are removed from the requirements to provide coverage for screening and diagnostic mammography services.
