Requires health care professional to order bi-lateral ultrasounds concurrently when ordering mammograms; requires insurers to cover concurrent mammograms and bi-lateral ultrasounds.
This bill requires healthcare providers to order bilateral ultrasounds at the same time as mammograms when medically necessary, and mandates insurers to cover both tests together. It directly affects women receiving breast cancer screenings (especially those with dense breast tissue, abnormal results, or risk factors), healthcare providers who order the tests, and health insurers. Key provisions amend existing law to require concurrent coverage for ultrasounds and mammograms, rather than separate approvals, when a provider deems it appropriate based on medical guidelines. The bill does not change screening recommendations but ensures insurers pay for both tests when ordered together. It applies to all health insurance contracts in New Jersey.
