Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal Medicaid law so that people enrolled in Medicaid pay no cost sharing, such as copays or deductibles, for diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations. Diagnostic exams are those used to check an abnormality found by screening or another exam, and supplemental exams are screenings for people with higher risk based on personal or family history or other factors. The bill would also make screening mammography rated A or B by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force a required Medicaid benefit. These changes would apply to care provided starting one year after the bill becomes law.
