Title
Breast Cancer, duty of Department of Public Health to develop and physicians disseminate certain information to patients regarding treatment options, reconstructive options, and coverage
Description

Under existing law, health plans that offer breast cancer coverage have been required to provide coverage for reconstruction and prostheses.

This bill would require the Alabama Department of Public Health to develop and disseminate for patients diagnosed with breast cancer, a standardized written summary explaining methods of treating breast cancer, options for reconstruction, and the availability of coverage.

This bill would require every physician who issues a report of mammography results to notify patients under certain conditions of potential problems associated with dense breast tissue.
