The changes expand eligibility for mammogram coverage to include all covered persons aged 35-39, not just those with a family history of breast cancer, and streamline the language around diagnostic procedures.

The bill's scope was expanded to include broader eligibility for mammogram coverage under large group policies, removing the requirement that persons aged 35-39 must have a family history of breast cancer to qualify for coverage.
ELIGIBILITY
Mammogram coverage for persons aged 35-39 is now available to all covered persons, not just those with a prior history of breast cancer or a first-degree relative with breast cancer.

The bill restructured the coverage requirements to clearly separate baseline mammograms for younger persons from annual mammograms for those aged 40 and older.
TECHNICAL
