What this bill would do

The "Find It Early Act" aims to provide health coverage with no cost-sharing for additional breast cancer screenings for specific high-risk individuals. This mandate applies to group health plans, individual health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA healthcare. It targets those at increased risk of breast cancer or those with heterogeneously or extremely dense breast tissue. It also covers individuals determined by healthcare providers to need screening due to factors like age, race, ethnicity, or medical history. The coverage includes various technologies like 2D or 3D mammograms, ultrasounds, and magnetic resonance imaging. These provisions are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
