Find It Early Act
The Find It Early Act requires health insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA healthcare to cover breast cancer screenings without cost-sharing for certain high-risk individuals. It specifically covers people at increased risk of breast cancer (based on medical criteria like dense breast tissue or family history) or those requiring screening due to factors including age, race, ethnicity, or personal medical history. The bill mandates coverage for screenings like mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRI with no frequency limitations, using guidelines from the American College of Radiology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network. This applies to individuals determined to be at higher risk by healthcare providers following established medical criteria. The requirements will take effect in 2024 for Medicaid and 2025 for other programs.
