About the Legislation
The Michigan Breast Density Notification Law, effective June 1, 2015, will have real implications for primary care providers and their patients.
For Providers
The Michigan Breast Density Notification Law directly mandates a change in practice for mammography providers that will greatly affect primary care providers.
For Patients
Breast density is the ratio of fat to fibrous and glandular tissue in the breast. Dense breasts are not abnormal, but may have an impact on health screening and care.
