Bill > HB0468

This bill requires health insurance plans that cover mammograms to also cover mobile mammography screenings performed by an "approved mobile mammography unit" (a bus or vehicle equipped for mammograms and approved by a federal Food and Drug Administration-designated accrediting body) when conducted in a "rural area" (counties classified as third, fourth, fifth, or sixth class). The bill mandates that these mobile screenings be reimbursed at the same rate as in-network mammograms performed elsewhere, and approved mobile units must accept this reimbursement and any enrollee cost-sharing as full payment, while adhering to federal guidelines on screening age and frequency. This legislation aims to improve access to breast cancer screenings for individuals in less populated areas and will take effect on January 1, 2027.
