Bill Summary

Relative to insurance coverage for mammograms and magnetic resonance imaging. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill expands insurance coverage for mammograms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by requiring that insurance policies provide a baseline mammogram for women aged 35 to 40 and annual mammograms for women 40 and older, and mandates that MRI be covered when a mammogram is insufficient due to factors like dense breast tissue, as determined by a physician, and importantly, these benefits will be exempt from any co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, or dollar limits, ensuring broader access to these important diagnostic tools for women's health.
