What does this do?
This bill requires the VA to provide mammography screening to veterans across all U.S. states and Puerto Rico within two years of becoming law. Each location must offer at least one of three options: remote reading of scans by specialists, an in-person program at a VA facility, or a mobile unit. It also makes a telescreening pilot program permanent, and requires all mammography services to be accessible to veterans with disabilities.
Who does it affect?
This bill applies to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the veterans it serves in all U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
Why does it matter?
Without this law, mammography access through the VA is not guaranteed in every location. Veterans with disabilities could be affected if screening sites are not physically accessible to them.
