Dossier Legislative introduced 28-apr-2025
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Access to Breast Cancer Diagnosis Act of 2025

Key claim: A newly introduced Senate bill would expand patients’ access to breast cancer diagnostic services and has been sent to the Senate health committee for review.

Abstract

(S1500 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-04-28): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Why this matters

Diagnostic breast imaging (follow-up after an abnormal screening mammogram) often carries cost-sharing that screening mammograms do not, creating a financial barrier to completing a cancer workup. This bill would address that gap at the federal level, though as an introduced bill referred to committee it carries no immediate change to coverage.
