A bill requiring insurers to cover the use of digital breast tomosynthesis for routine mammograms has been delivered to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has until Nov. 29 to sign or veto it. (syracuse.com)
The order seemed largely symbolic, since the state Health Plan Association said its members already covered tomosynthesis when medically necessary. (empirecenter.org)
Cuomo clarified in his approval memo, however, that the law «does not remove an insurer's ability to review breast tomosynthesis for medical necessity.» (empirecenter.org)
