The Find It Early Act would require health insurance plans and government health programs to cover breast cancer screenings and diagnostic imaging with no cost-sharing for individuals at higher risk. Eligible individuals include those with increased breast cancer risk as determined by medical guidelines, those with dense breast tissue, and those whose doctors determine they need screening based on factors like age, race, ethnicity, or family history. The coverage applies to various imaging types including mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRI scans with no limits on screening frequency. The bill would take effect for most programs on January 1, 2025, and applies to employer health plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE (military health insurance), and Veterans Affairs. No specific federal funding is mentioned, as the requirement is for existing insurance programs to expand their coverage.
