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 aged 40 and over annually, and for women under 40 if recommended by a health care provider due to risk factors. It also requires coverage for additional breast imaging tests if recommended after a mammogram. This bill is a response to the death of Michelle DeVita, who lost her battle with breast cancer. The law ensures that insurance covers mammograms and related tests based on medical necessity, regardless of age or risk factors.
