Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize and improve the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reauthorize and improve the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, building upon the program's successful track record of providing cancer screening services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women across the United States. The bill updates the program's goals to explicitly include reducing cancer screening disparities, enhancing support activities like patient navigation, and improving equitable access to screening and diagnostic services. It increases funding to $235 million for the 2026-2030 period and requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a comprehensive study by September 2027 to assess the program's reach, trends in service delivery, and potential barriers to access. The legislation acknowledges the program's significant historical impact, noting that since 1991, NBCCEDP has served over 6.4 million people, provided more than 16.5 million screening examinations, and helped diagnose nearly 80,000 invasive breast cancers and almost 5,300 invasive cervical cancers, with a particular focus on reaching geographically and culturally isolated populations.
