State Laws
At the federal level, the Affordable Care Act requires coverage of certain cancer screenings at no cost to the patient. These screenings are appropriate for people at average risk of cancer. Additional cancer screenings are typically recommended for people with an inherited genetic mutation that increases their cancer risk. Many states have laws requiring coverage of these “supplemental” screenings and other health services for individuals at increased risk of cancer.
Click below to learn about your state’s breast screening law(s). In the coming months, we will add information about laws for other high-risk cancer screenings.
