The Mammogram Coverage Bill
Michigan bill expands mammogram coverage to women age 35
Insurance: health insurers; age eligibility for coverage for annual breast cancer mammography examination; lower. Amends sec. 3406d of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.3406d).
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, insurers would have to pay for one breast cancer screening mammogram for women 35 to 39 each five years, and yearly after 40.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill helps younger women catch breast cancer early, which can save lives and treatment costs, but it may raise premiums as insurers cover more tests.
