Bill overview
This bill, the Better and Robust Screening Today Act (BRST Act), aims to improve breast cancer screening for women enrolled in the TRICARE program, which provides healthcare to military members and their families. It seeks to expand coverage to include digital breast tomosynthesis, a more effective imaging technique than traditional mammography, particularly for women with dense breast tissue. By adding digital breast tomosynthesis as a covered service, the bill intends to increase early detection rates and ultimately reduce breast cancer mortality.
