PREFERRED Screening Act Personalized Risk Evaluation For Effective...
A bill to amend title XI of the Social Security Act to establish a payment model to reimburse providers for furnishing comprehensive breast cancer risk assessments and developing personalized screening and risk-reduction plans, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to change how healthcare providers are paid when they offer services related to breast cancer risk. Specifically, it aims to set up a new payment system to cover the cost of comprehensive breast cancer risk assessments and the creation of personalized screening and risk-reduction plans for patients.
This would affect healthcare providers who offer breast cancer risk assessments and personalized plans. The new payment model could help ensure more patients get these important services, potentially improving their health outcomes. However, it could also change how providers are compensated, which might impact their business practices.
The bill was introduced on August 5, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Finance for further review. As of now, it is in the early stages of the legislative process, and no further actions have been taken yet.
