Bill > S1410

This bill, known as the Find It Early Act, aims to provide comprehensive health coverage for breast cancer screenings without cost-sharing for individuals at higher risk of breast cancer, across multiple healthcare systems including group health plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs. The bill expands coverage to include various screening and diagnostic imaging technologies such as 2D and 3D mammograms, breast ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging, and molecular breast imaging, with no limitations on frequency, for two primary groups: (1) individuals with increased breast cancer risk or dense breast tissue, as determined by professional medical guidelines, and (2) individuals identified by healthcare providers as needing additional screenings based on factors like age, race, ethnicity, or personal/family medical history. These expanded coverage provisions will take effect on January 1, 2026, and apply to different healthcare systems, ensuring that at-risk individuals can access comprehensive breast cancer screening without financial barriers. The bill represents a significant effort to improve early detection of breast cancer by removing potential economic obstacles to diagnostic imaging.
