Bill overview
This bill aims to improve breast cancer screening coverage for West Virginia residents through their health insurance. It mandates that insurance policies must cover baseline mammograms for women aged 30-40 and annually for those 40 and older. Additionally, it requires coverage for comprehensive breast ultrasounds when mammograms show dense tissue or if a woman has increased risk factors like family history or genetic testing. The bill also ensures that reimbursement for these screenings isn’t denied due to medical direction.
