Affordable Access to Breast Imaging |
Susan G. Komen® believes all people should have access to regular screening when they and their health care providers decide it’s best based on their personal risk of breast cancer. Komen’s Center for Public Policyis working with state and federal lawmakers to ensure needed screening and diagnostic imaging are covered by health plans, with no out-of-pocket costs for patients. |
