AI Summary
This bill requires health insurers to provide coverage for certain imaging related to breast cancer detection. Specifically, it mandates coverage for annual mammogram examinations starting at age 18, as well as physician-directed imaging such as ultrasound, MRI, and 3D mammography in cases where the initial mammogram shows extremely dense breast tissue, is abnormal, or the patient has additional risk factors for breast cancer. The bill also defines "high risk assessment" as an annual assessment including both a mammogram and MRI for women determined by their physician to be at high risk of breast cancer. These coverage requirements apply to all health insurance plans and policies in the state.
