Bill > SB00757

This bill requires self-funded municipalities in the state to provide health insurance coverage for breast cancer screening services. Specifically, the coverage must include mammograms (traditional x-ray imaging of breast tissue), tomosynthesis (3D mammography that provides more detailed breast images), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, which uses magnetic fields to create detailed images), and ultrasounds (which use sound waves to create images of breast tissue). A self-funded municipality refers to a local government that manages its own health insurance pool rather than purchasing insurance from an external provider. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that municipal employees have comprehensive access to various breast cancer screening technologies, which can help with early detection and potentially improve health outcomes for individuals at risk of breast cancer.
