HB1122

Health insurance companies in South Dakota will be prohibited from charging patients any out-of-pocket costs—such as copays, deductibles, or coinsurance—for screening, diagnostic, and supplemental breast imaging exams. This applies to various types of breast imaging including mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRI scans that are medically necessary according to medical guidelines. The change ensures that cost barriers don't prevent people from getting breast cancer screenings and follow-up imaging exams.
