Bill Summary
Relative to insurance coverage for mammograms and breast cancer screening. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill expands insurance coverage for mammograms and other breast cancer screening services in Massachusetts. It requires insurers to cover a baseline mammogram for women ages 35-40 and annual mammograms for women 40 and older. It also mandates coverage for additional screening and diagnostic tests, such as breast ultrasounds or MRIs, for women with increased risk factors for breast cancer, including family history or dense breast tissue. The bill also specifies that these benefits must be provided without any copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles, and that providers must be reimbursed at rates reflecting the actual costs of the various screening modalities.
