Mandated Coverage for Biomarker Testing
On May 3, 2023, Gov. Moore signed HB 1217/SB 805 into law. The law requires health insurers in Maryland to cover biomarker testing when supported by medical and scientific evidence. Cost-sharing for biomarker testing may not be greater than cost-sharing for similar covered services. As of January 1, 2024, the law applies to policies issued or delivered in the state. Employers sponsoring health plans in Maryland should be aware of this development and contact their carriers for further information.
