What Is HB1828?
HB1828/SB1238 aims to remove high out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic and supplemental breast imaging, including:
- Diagnostic mammography
- Ultrasound
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
By eliminating co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles, this bill ensures no one has to choose between their health and financial security. It’s a critical step toward accessible and equitable breast cancer care.
Why It Matters
For many, follow-up imaging is medically necessary but financially inaccessible. HB1828 breaks down these barriers, promoting early detection and timely treatment without the burden of financial hardship.
