SB 1747 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to coverage for screening mammograms, diagnostic imaging, and supplemental breast examinations under certain health benefit plans.

SB 1747 requires health benefit plans in Texas to cover screening mammograms, diagnostic imaging, and supplemental breast examinations without cost-sharing (like copays or deductibles). It directly affects health insurance plans by mandating no out-of-pocket costs for these specific breast cancer screenings. Key provisions define "diagnostic imaging" as exams to evaluate detected abnormalities (e.g., from a screening mammogram) and "supplemental breast examinations" as additional screenings for high-risk patients (e.g., those with dense breasts or family history). The bill applies to plans delivered or renewed after its effective date, aligning coverage for these services with standard radiological exam benefits.
