New York State health insurers now required to cover PSA blood test
The new law, which went into effect last month, places prostate-specific antigen screenings on the same level as mammograms. The intent is to encourage more men to take the test, which helps determine prostate cancer risk.


A new law quietly went into effect last month that requires health insurers to cover the cost of routine screening for prostate cancer, a measure aimed at encouraging more men to consider the benefits of being tested.

New York is the only state in the country to pass a law that supports full insurance coverage of the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test, which helps determine prostate cancer risk.

The new law is the brainchild of a coalition of New York urologists and patient advocacy organizations that not only saw a need for the legislation, but over a two-year period made a case for the measure among legislators in Albany.
