Bill > SB413

This bill aims to expand the coverage of breast cancer screenings under the Medical Assistance program and health insurance policies and plans in Wisconsin. It amends existing laws to require coverage of essential breast screenings beyond just mammography, such as breast ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, for individuals with dense breast tissue, higher risk factors for breast cancer, or when a healthcare provider deems them medically necessary. The bill also limits the cost-sharing amount that can be imposed on individuals for these additional screenings. The new requirements will apply to both private health insurance policies and self-insured health plans, and will take effect on the first day of the fourth month following the bill's publication.
