The Find It Early Act requires health insurers and government health programs to cover advanced breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging at no cost to patients who are at increased risk for breast cancer or have dense breast tissue. Eligible individuals include those meeting criteria from the American College of Radiology or National Comprehensive Cancer Network, as well as those identified by healthcare providers based on factors like age, race, ethnicity, or family history. The covered screening methods include traditional mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI scans, and emerging technologies like molecular breast imaging, with no limits on how frequently patients can receive these services. The bill applies to private insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE (military health coverage), and the Veterans Health Administration, with all requirements taking effect on January 1, 2026. The legislation aims to improve early detection of breast cancer in higher-risk populations by removing financial barriers to advanced screening options.
