PSA Screening for HIM Act

# PSA Screening for HIM Act Summary **What the Bill Does:** The PSA Screening for HIM Act would require health insurance plans to cover prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening tests without cost to patients. PSA screening is a blood test used to detect prostate cancer risk in men. Currently, insurance coverage of PSA screening varies, and some men may face out-of-pocket costs for the test.

This bill aims to remove financial barriers to this preventive screening. **Who It Affects:** The legislation primarily affects men covered by health insurance plans, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer or from communities with higher rates of prostate cancer. It would also impact insurance providers and healthcare systems that would need to cover these screening costs. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Neal Dunn (R-FL) and focuses on cancer prevention and health equity, particularly regarding prostate cancer screening in minority populations.
