Bill > SB00450

This bill proposes to amend two sections of Connecticut's general statutes (38a-503 and 38a-530) to legally define breast ultrasound as a screening procedure for individuals with health insurance. While the specific details of how the definition will change are not provided in the bill text, this modification suggests the intent is to ensure that breast ultrasounds are recognized as a standard preventive health screening, similar to mammograms, which could potentially impact insurance coverage and reimbursement for these medical imaging procedures. The bill aims to clarify the status of breast ultrasound in insurance regulations, which may help improve access to this diagnostic tool for early detection of breast conditions.
