Mammogram Bill

Johnson City Local representative, Rebecca Alexander has proposed a bill that’s working to get the mammogram process, all the way up to potential diagnosis, paid for 100 percent. Representative Alexander says this bill is the second part to a bill passed last year.At State of Franklin Healthcare Associates Imaging Center in Johnson City, they say the state offers financial support to remove any cancer; it’s just getting to that point for patients that’s difficult. “This bill goes one step further and it will take away any cost-sharing for the patient,” says Alexander.
