Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill turns the Department of Veterans Affairs' telescreening mammography pilot program into an ongoing program by removing the word "pilot" and striking one subsection of the existing law. It moves a deadline in that law to May 1, 2027. Within two years, the VA must offer at least one mammography option in every state and Puerto Rico: the telescreening program, a full-service mammography program at a VA facility, or a mobile mammography program. These programs must be accessible to veterans with paralysis, spinal cord injuries or disorders, or other disabilities. The bill also states that the VA may expand telescreening mammography to other VA facilities.
