Description
Health insurance; coverage for breast cancer screenings; mammography facilities to provide extended hours. Expands health insurance coverage requirements that currently include only mammogram screenings to include diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and magnetic resonance imaging. The bill requires that coverage for diagnostic mammograms be no less favorable than coverage for screening mammograms and provides that expanded coverage shall not be subject to any cost-sharing requirements. The bill also requires certain mammogram facilities certified pursuant to the federal Mammogram Quality Standards Act to provide extended hours for screening mammography services. Requirements for these extended hours and the potential to obtain a waiver under certain circumstances are included in the bill. Read the Bill »
