Requires health care professionals to order bi-lateral ultrasounds concurrently when ordering mammograms; requires insurers to cover concurrent mammograms and bi-lateral ultrasounds.

This New Jersey bill requires health care providers to order a bilateral ultrasound at the same time as a mammogram when a woman has specific breast cancer risk factors, such as family history, dense breast tissue, or other medical indications. It also mandates that all health insurers cover both the mammogram and the concurrent ultrasound without additional out-of-pocket costs for patients. The law applies to all health insurance plans in New Jersey, including commercial, individual, group, and state health benefit plans. The requirement triggers when a health care provider determines a patient has additional risk factors for breast cancer, as defined in the bill. This policy aims to improve early breast cancer detection by ensuring comprehensive screening for at-risk patients.
