Expanding Mammography Access for Veterans Across All States and Puerto Rico
This act significantly expands access to mammography screenings for veterans across the United States and Puerto Rico. It makes existing pilot programs permanent and ensures services are available in every state, facilitating early disease detection. The law also improves accessibility for veterans with disabilities.
Key points
Mammography programs for veterans will become permanent, no longer pilot programs.
Within two years, every state and Puerto Rico will offer at least one mammography program (telescreening, full-service, or mobile).
Services will be made accessible for veterans with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or other disabilities.
The VA Secretary can further expand telescreening mammography services to more VA facilities.
