People at higher risk for breast cancer would get free extra screenings under most health plans.
This bill would ensure people at higher risk for breast cancer, including those with dense breast tissue, can get extra screenings without out-of-pocket costs. Doctors can also recommend these free screenings for other reasons, like age or family history. This applies to most health plans, including private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA health care, starting January 1, 2026.
Today, health plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA health care may not uniformly cover additional breast screenings for individuals at increased risk or with dense breast tissue. They may also charge co-pays or other fees for these services. If this bill passes, starting January 1, 2026, these programs would be required to provide coverage for specific breast screenings for eligible individuals. They would do so without imposing any out-of-pocket costs.
