The "Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025" aims to significantly expand access to mammography services for veterans by transforming the Department of Veterans Affairs' existing telescreening mammography pilot program into a permanent and broader initiative. It removes the "pilot" designation from the program and updates reporting requirements, signaling a long-term commitment to these services. A key provision mandates that within two years of enactment, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs must ensure that each state and Puerto Rico offers at least one of three options: the expanded telescreening program, a full-service mammography program within a VA facility, or a mobile mammography program. This ensures comprehensive geographic coverage for veterans' breast imaging needs. Furthermore, the bill explicitly requires that all these programs be accessible for veterans with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or other disabilities , aligning with existing accessibility standards.
