The Find It Early Act would require several health coverage programs to cover breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging without cost-sharing for people who meet specified risk criteria. This could include people at increased risk of breast cancer, people with dense breast tissue, and others whose health care provider determines they need imaging based on factors such as age, race, ethnicity, or personal or family medical history. Covered services could include mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI, and other imaging technologies, with no frequency limit stated in the bill. The changes generally begin January 1, 2026, with a possible delay for some state Medicaid plans that need state legislation.
If you are covered by a group or individual health plan, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or the Department of Veterans Affairs and meet the bill’s criteria, the bill would provide coverage for qualifying breast imaging without cost-sharing. Eligibility would depend on the criteria and guidelines named in the bill, and in some cases a health care provider’s determination.
The bill would eliminate cost-sharing for the specified imaging services for eligible people. No publicly available information is provided in the bill text about government or program costs.
