The Find It Early Act would require most health plans to fully cover extra breast imaging for high-risk patients starting in 2026.
50-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
The Find It Early Act would require most health insurance plans to fully cover additional breast imaging tests, such as 3D mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, and molecular breast imaging, for people at higher risk of breast cancer, without copays or deductibles. This applies to people classified as high-risk, those with dense breast tissue, or anyone a doctor determines needs extra screening, with no limits on how often the tests can be done if medically needed.
Who does it affect?
It affects nearly everyone with U.S. health coverage, including people with job-based insurance, marketplace plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA health care.
Why does it matter?
Currently, many plans only fully cover a basic annual mammogram, leaving people to face out-of-pocket costs for follow-up or supplemental imaging tied to dense breasts or elevated risk. The bill would take effect January 1, 2026, though states needing new legislation for Medicaid compliance would get additional time.
