(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from the Senate Republican Communications Office, the Senate approved legislation Tuesday to strengthen Pennsylvania’s no-cost breast cancer screening law. This was in Harrisburg and will ensure fully covering diagnostic imaging, which will remove barriers of finance for patients. Senate Bill 88 ensures people who get abnormal results from screenings that are supplemental can get access now for diagnostic imaging that is necessary at no cost.
