AN ACT CONCERNING ACCESS TO IMAGING SERVICES.

Agency Affected	Fund-Effect
State Comptroller - Fringe Benefits	None

Municipalities	Effect	FY 07 $	FY 08 $
Various Municipalities	Potential Cost	Indeterminate	Indeterminate

Explanation

Since the imaging services addressed in the bill are covered in the state health plans without copayments, the bill has no fiscal impact to the state as an employer.

The bill's impact on municipal health insurance costs will vary based on existing municipal coverage. To the extent that the total copayment limit under the bill impacts a municipality's employee health insurance plan, there would be increased costs to the plan that cannot be determined.

The Out Years

The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to inflation.
