TEXAS HOUSE PASSES 3-D MAMMOGRAPHY BILL
A bill that requires all commercial insurance providers in Texas to cover 3-D mammography passed the House of Representative in a unanimous vote on Friday.
Texas House Bill 1036 will now proceed to the Texas Senate for consideration.
According to medical experts, 3-D mammography provides patients with a better chance for early detection of breast cancer.
If your insurance doesn’t cover the cost of 3-D mammography, you could end up paying anywhere from $50 to $150 out of pocket.
The bill was introduced on January 1st by Texas Representative Senfronia Thompson, a democrat from Houston.
