Lowers the age for mandatory mammogram coverage by insurers in New Jersey from 40 to 35.
New Jersey S1972 mandates that health insurers provide coverage for mammograms starting at age 35, rather than 40. This includes a baseline mammogram for women at age 35, followed by annual mammograms for women aged 35 and over. Younger women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors may also receive mammograms at intervals deemed necessary by their healthcare provider. Insurers must cover additional tests like ultrasounds or MRIs if the initial mammogram shows dense breast tissue, abnormalities, or if the patient has other breast cancer risk factors.
