HEALTH – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding breast cancer screening.

H 134 requires most health insurance plans in Idaho to cover annual supplemental breast cancer screening for people at increased risk. It directly affects patients with specific risk factors (like family history, genetic mutations, dense breast tissue, or prior radiation) and insurance providers offering medical/surgical coverage. The law mandates coverage for one annual screening using MRI, contrast mammograms, or ultrasound when clinically needed, based on defined risk criteria. It does not eliminate patient cost-sharing like deductibles or copays but ensures the minimum screening coverage is provided. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026.
