     62Q.50 Prostate cancer screening. 

    A health plan must cover prostate cancer screening for men 
 40 years of age or over who are symptomatic or in a high-risk 
 category and for all men 50 years of age or older. 

    The screening must consist at a minimum of a 
 prostate-specific antigen blood test and a digital rectal 
 examination. 

    This coverage is subject to any deductible, coinsurance, 
 co-payment, or other limitation on coverage applicable to other 
 coverages under the plan. 

    For purposes of this section, "health plan" includes 
 coverage that is excluded under section 62A.011, subdivision 3, 
 clauses (7) and (10).
