A BILL
To enact section 4731.45 of the Revised Code to
require a physician interpreting a mammogram who
determines that the patient has dense breast
tissue to specify this in the mammography report
sent to the patient.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4731.45 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4731.45. As used in this section, "physician" means an
individual authorized by this chapter to practice medicine and
surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery.
A physician interpreting a mammogram shall determine based on
the breast imaging reporting and data system established by the
American college of radiology whether the patient has dense breast
tissue. If so, the physician shall include the following in the
report or summary sent to the patient pursuant to 21 C.F.R.
900.12:
"Because your mammogram demonstrates that you have dense
breast tissue, which could hide small abnormalities, you might
benefit from supplementary screening tests, depending on your
individual risk factors. If you specified a physician to receive
the report of your mammography results, the report has been sent
to your physician's office. Contact your physician if you have any
questions or concerns about dense breast tissue or your
mammography results."
