AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts insurance law to require coverage for various breast cancer screening services, including annual mammograms for women 40 and older, baseline mammograms for women 35-40, additional imaging like ultrasound or MRI if abnormalities are found, and screening for those with risk factors like family history. The bill specifies that these benefits must be provided without any patient cost-sharing like co-payments, deductibles, or dollar limits.
