Medicaid Breast Cancer Access to Treatment Act
This bill expands Medicaid coverage for low-income individuals diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer. It requires Medicaid programs to cover breast reconstruction surgery after a medically necessary mastectomy, adding this as a mandatory benefit under existing Medicaid rules. The bill also modifies eligibility criteria to ensure coverage for these specific cancer patients, aligning with prior Medicaid provisions. These changes apply to all states administering Medicaid, directly affecting eligible patients seeking cancer treatment and recovery services.
