Health care facilities in South Dakota that perform mammograms must now notify patients about their breast tissue density and explain what that means for their breast cancer risk. This is a new requirement aimed at ensuring women have complete information about their mammogram results so they can make informed decisions about additional screening if needed.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
