Early Detection Saves Lives
Newly Announced Rules Expand Access to Mammography and Other Early Detection Services at No Cost to Patients

Breast Cancer Advocates Applaud Inclusion of Women Age 40 to 49

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Advocacy Alliance applauded new federal rules that will expand access to potentially life-saving care for millions of Americans.

“The announcement is a critical step in ensuring the promise of health reform is delivered to all women,” said Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “This new rule means money will no longer be an obstacle for women who want or need a mammogram. Ultimately, this will save lives.”

The new interim regulations were issued July 14 by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of its implementation of the new health reform law (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). The regulations will require private health insurers to cover preventive and early detection services, including annual screening mammography for women age 40 and older, with no cost sharing or co-pays in health plans issued after Sept. 23.
