To expand the telescreening mammography pilot program of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

# HR 7411 Summary **What the Bill Does** HR 7411 would expand the Department of Veterans Affairs' telescreening mammography pilot program. Telescreening mammography uses remote technology to allow radiologists to review breast cancer screening images from a distance, rather than requiring patients to be in the same location as the specialist reviewing their scans. This bill aims to make this program available to more veterans across the country. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects female veterans who need breast cancer screening.

By expanding this program, more veterans—particularly those in rural or underserved areas—could potentially access mammography services without traveling long distances to VA facilities with on-site radiologists. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Glenn Thompson (R-PA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No additional provisions beyond the program expansion are detailed in the available information.
