Assure Access to Mammography Act of 2008 Introduced in House
Rep. Anthony D. Weiner (D-N.Y.) recently introduced the (HR 5711) Assure Access to Mammography Act of 2008 into the United States House of Representatives. The bill would create a reimbursement floor for mammography services in 2009 equal to 115 percent of that paid for the services in 2008; subject to geographic area adjustment in the same manner as for other physicians' services covered under the same Medicare fee schedule section.
The bill, which does not have any cosponsors to date, was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Ways and Means. The College will update members on the progress of this bill as information becomes available.
