MI SB1113

Beginning January 1, 2018, primary care physicians must include questions on patient intake forms endorsed by the United States Preventative Service Task Force or National Comprehensive Cancer Network to identify family history associated with increased risk of hereditary breast or ovarian cancer.

If a patient's responses to the screening questions indicate a family history associated with increased hereditary breast or ovarian cancer risk, the physician must provide information on genetic counseling to determine whether genetic testing for associated mutations is appropriate.

The same requirements are established in two separate sections (17019 and 17519) of the Public Health Code, creating identical provisions.

The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment into law.
