  • Requires mammography facilities to provide written notice to patients when a physician determines they have dense or extremely dense breast tissue based on the American College of Radiology's breast imaging reporting and data system.

  • Notice must inform patients that dense breast tissue is common but may make mammogram evaluation harder and may be associated with increased breast cancer risk, and directs them to discuss screening options with their physician.
