This amendment deletes a provision from HS 1 for HB 253 that prohibits any mammogram facility from refusing to provide a mammogram for self-referred patients. This amendment instead requires that facilities either provide a mammogram for self-referred patients or refer such patients to a hospital or outpatient facility with the resources to not only provide a mammogram, but also assist the patient with understanding the results and arranging appropriate follow-up care. This amendment makes no changes to the requirements for insurance companies to provide coverage for self-referred mammograms.
