## Summary

**Would ban cost-sharing for diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations to reduce financial barriers to follow-up and risk-based imaging.** This change would add a new Section 2730 to the Public Health Service Act and take effect for plan years starting January 1, 2026. - People facing breast abnormalities or higher-than-average risk would not have to pay deductibles, coinsurance, copays, or out-of-pocket limits for medically necessary diagnostic or supplemental breast exams as defined by NCCN Guidelines. These exams include diagnostic mammography, breast MRI, and breast ultrasound. - Group health plans and individual market issuers must remove cost-sharing for these services but may still use timely prior authorization and other utilization controls. The law also preserves any state rules that give stronger coverage protections. - The bill protects high-deductible health plan status by adding a tax safe harbor so plans are not disqualified for lacking a deductible for these breast exams. The accommodation also applies to grandfathered plans.

This would preserve Health Savings Account eligibility for people in those plans. The change would apply to plan years beginning on January 1, 2026.
