The primary bill
sponsors, Representatives Hartsook and Duran, introduced Senate Bill 24-124
to the House Health and Human Services Committee. The bill requires state-regulated
health insurance plans to cover certain biomarker tests outlined in the
bill. Under the bill, all tests supported by medical and scientific evidence
must be covered for the purpose of guiding treatment decisions. The coverage
applies to large group plans issued or renewed after January 1, 2025 and

practice for Medicaid coverage of biomarker tests. |
