Bill Text

Kentucky HB135 mandates coverage for breast examinations in health insurance policies.

Kentucky HB135 amends state law to require health insurance policies to cover breast examinations, including mammograms, diagnostic breast examinations, and supplemental breast examinations. The bill specifies that coverage should be provided to individuals at increased risk of breast cancer, those with dense breast tissue, and others based on factors like age and family medical history. It also mandates coverage for breast tomosynthesis, a radiologic procedure for producing cross-sectional digital three-dimensional images of the breast.
