(Bismarck, ND) — PERS insurance recipients could avoid out-of-pocket costs for breast cancer examinations. Public Employees Retirement System insurance would be prohibited from imposing a deductible or cost-sharing requirements for diagnostic or supplemental breast examinations. Mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs that screen for breast cancer are included. The state Senate narrowly passed the bill yesterday after recommendations not to approve it due to premium increase concerns.
