Michelle's Law requires health benefit plans to cover mammograms if recommended by a health care provider.

Michelle's Law mandates that health benefit plans cover mammograms for women if recommended by a health care provider, regardless of age or family history. This includes baseline mammograms for women aged 40 and over, and additional screenings based on risk factors. The bill also requires coverage for additional testing after a mammogram if deemed necessary by a health care provider. This law aims to ensure broader access to breast cancer screening and diagnostic services.
