Relative to insurance coverage for mammograms and breast cancer screening. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for various breast cancer screening services, including annual mammograms for women over 40, additional screening for women under 40 with risk factors, and diagnostic testing such as ultrasounds and MRI scans when recommended by a healthcare provider. The bill specifies that these benefits must be provided without any cost-sharing for the patient, such as deductibles or copayments. The bill amends several sections of state insurance laws to mandate these coverage requirements.
