Indiana Legislature Passes Bill Mandating Biomarker Testing Coverage

The Indiana Legislature on Tuesday passed Senate Bill 273 requiring health plans to provide biomarker testing coverage for patients. The bill has now been sent to the desk of Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, a Republican, for a signature.

Beyond Indiana, 15 other states — Arkansas, Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Texas — have enacted similar legislation, and in 15 other states, bills have been introduced or are expected in 2024. Meanwhile, commercial payors are scrambling to figure out how to adjust their policies to comply.
