House Bill 170 amends the Insurance Code to require a health benefit plan that provides coverage for a screening mammogram to provide coverage for a diagnostic mammogram that is no less favorable than the coverage for a screening mammogram. The bill extends the applicability of provisions governing coverage of mammography to certain health benefit plans for governmental employees and, to the extent allowed by federal law, the state Medicaid program and the Medicaid managed care program.
