Ovarian Cancer IMPACT Act

This bill renews and expands a federal ovarian cancer education campaign known as Johanna's Law, adding outreach on hereditary cancer syndromes, genetic testing, and risk-reduction options, and authorizes $20 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It creates grants for demonstration projects testing outreach strategies, with preference for groups serving rural, underserved, or high-risk populations. It adds ovarian cancer care to existing rural health grant programs and includes Tribal communities. It requires group and individual health plans to cover genetic counseling and genetic testing for people with a personal or family history linked to ovarian cancer, and to cover early detection and risk-reducing surgeries for people at elevated hereditary risk. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must submit an implementation plan and regular reports to Congress.
