## Summary

**This bill would require comprehensive, no cost-sharing coverage for breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging across federal programs and private group and individual health plans.** It ties eligibility and frequency to current National Comprehensive Cancer Network and American College of Radiology guidance and phases in for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. - People at increased risk and those with heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts would get covered imaging with no copays. Covered tests include, for example, 2D and 3D mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, molecular breast imaging, and contrast-enhanced mammography. - Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans would cover the same services without cost sharing, with frequency limits set by NCCN/ACR guidance. - Medicaid would expand coverage to these groups and may delay state-plan changes until the first calendar quarter after the close of the state legislature’s next regular session. TRICARE, Department of Defense health programs, and the VA would also provide these imaging services without copayments, and VA eligibility applies regardless of annual enrollment status.
