Your Health Plan Now Covers Mammograms
“This year alone, it is estimated that 207,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius. My best friend, Mary Kay, became a part of that first number last month but because she never misses a mammogram will definitely not become a part of that last number.
I haven’t been a huge proponent for the government’s health care reform because of the costs involved, but I have to give credit where it’s due. The Affordable Care Act requires health care plans to now provide preventative care, which includes breast exams and mammograms. Emotionally and financially, this makes sense. Preventative care will save lives and cut costs. But this reform only applies to insurance policies with an effective date of September 23, 2010 or after, so call us today to see if you’re covered.
