A bill by Assemblymember Anthony Portantino, who represents part of Monrovia, to eliminate guidelines in the insurance code that limit coverage for mammograms for younger women, was approved by the Senate Health Committee. "Instead of basing the need for mammograms only on a woman's age, AB 137 allows doctors to order diagnostic tests based on a more complete list of risk factors." Portantino says the current regulations are outdated.
