MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont law and the Affordable Care Act ensure Vermonters have access to preventative screenings for breast cancer.
Historically, when mammogram results come back inconclusive, patients could expect to write a check for any follow-ups.
A new bill that just passed the Vermont House would include more follow-up screening coverage – even if the first test is inconclusive.
Another bill in the house would lower the age for free colorectal cancer screenings from 50 to 45.
