Arizona mandates insurance coverage for supplemental breast imaging follow-up

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed SB 1165 on June 19, requiring insurers to cover follow-up breast imaging. The law adds Arizona to a growing list of states mandating coverage for supplemental screening in women with dense breast tissue or abnormal findings.

• SB 1165 was passed by the Arizona state Senate and signed into law June 19, 2025 by Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
