            Senate Bill 1028 amends the Insurance Code to change the requirements for health benefit plan coverage for colorectal cancer early detection by revising the applicability of those coverage requirements, lowering to 45 the age at which the coverage must begin for an enrollee, and expanding the examinations, services, and tests that must be covered. The bill limits the circumstances under which a managed care plan may impose a cost‑sharing requirement for colorectal cancer early detection coverage.
