The "Find It Early Act" seeks to expand access to critical breast cancer screenings by mandating health coverage with no cost-sharing for certain at-risk individuals. This legislation requires various health plans and programs to cover additional breast screenings and diagnostic imaging, with these provisions becoming effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026 . The bill specifically mandates coverage for a comprehensive range of screening and diagnostic imaging technologies. These include 2D or 3D mammograms, breast ultrasounds, breast magnetic resonance imaging, molecular breast imaging, and contrast-enhanced mammography. The frequency of these screenings will be guided by the recommendations set forth by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. Eligibility for these no-cost screenings is defined for individuals identified as being at an increased risk of breast cancer , as determined by the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria or NCCN guidelines. It also covers individuals with heterogeneously or extremely dense breast tissue , based on the ACR Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. Additionally, individuals whom a healthcare provider determines require such imaging due to factors like age, race, ethnicity, or personal or family medical history will also qualify. The legislation amends the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and the Internal Revenue Code to ensure private group and individual health plans comply. It further modifies the Social Security Act to integrate these expanded benefits into Medicare and Medicaid programs. Finally, the bill updates Titles 10 and 38 of the U.S. Code, ensuring that TRICARE and Department of Veterans Affairs health services also provide these essential, cost-free breast screenings.
