What Most American Women Don't Know When It Comes to Breast Cancer Screening
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. More than half of American women may be confused about when to start having regular mammograms to screen for breast cancer. This is the finding of a survey by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, which revealed the greatest uncertainty among younger women. Women with an average risk of breast cancer should start getting screened every two years from age 40 onwards, according to the latest guidance issued in April last year from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of medical experts. Mammograms enable doctors to detect cancer early, before symptoms become visible. Regular screening has been shown to decrease the risk of dying from breast cancer. Stock image of a woman undergoing a mammogram.

Recommendations have previously shifted from 40 up to 50 and then back down to 40 again. Confusing matters is how some medical groups offer different guidance. The American Cancer Society, for example, suggests that women start screening between 40–44, have mammograms annually from 45–54, and then every other year after that. Jamieson added: "Our data suggest that the recommendation that such screening ordinarily start at 40 years old is not yet widely enough known." A plot showing the results of the survey. A plot showing the results of the survey. Annenberg Public Policy Center The survey—which was conducted back in late April this year on a sample of more than 1,653 U.S. adults—found that only 49 percent of respondents knew that women are recommended to start having mammograms every other year from the age of 40 onward. Meanwhile, 10 percent said that screening should begin at age 20, 21 percent said age 30, 9 percent said age 50 and 11 responded that they weren't sure when they should start. (Each number is rounded to the nearest 1 percent, which accounts for why these figures do not add up to 100 percent.) Breaking down responses by age, the survey results suggest that there is a greater uncertainty on this topic among younger women. Specifically, only 37 percent of women aged 18–29 knew the correct age to start screening. In contrast, 72 percent of women aged 40–49, 63 percent aged 30–39 and 59 percent 50–74 knew that the current recommended age is 40. Alongside this, 16 percent of women aged 18–29 and 11 percent aged 30–39 reported that they were not at all sure when to begin regular screening; this figure was just one percent for women aged between 40–49. Among the 18–29 age group, the most commonly reported incorrect age for when to begin mammography was 30 (selected by 27 percent of women); this is a decade earlier than recommended. However, the most common misconception among those aged 30–39 (that is, approaching the recommended starting age of 40) was 50 years old—a decade later than current recommendations.

Health Insurance CEO Pulls Back Curtain on Prior Auth Reform
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. This is a preview of Access Health—Tap here to get this newsletter delivered straight to your inbox. To commemorate the Fourth of July weekend, I have an American story for you. It's got all the Stars and Stripes: entrepreneurial spirits, bootstraps mentalities and the familiar drag of bureaucracy. For the past several months, I've been working on this feature story about how patient advocacy groups are changing the pace of health care, working to find and fund cures for their loved ones' rare diseases (and, in some cases, their own). What I found was a community of ordinary people doing extraordinary things—not because they had the time, training or resources, but because they had no other choice. Parents, spouses and patients have taken on roles once reserved for pharmaceutical executives and lab directors, plunging headfirst into grant writing, data sharing and even drug development. These patient advocates are becoming increasingly important to the field of rare disease research, Dr. Dominique Pichard, director of the NIH's National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences' (NCATS) division of rare disease research and innovation, told me. Less than 5 percent of known rare diseases have an FDA-approved treatment available. Research efforts tend to focus on impacting the most lives with the fewest resources, as grant funding is competitive and hard to come by. But this means that many rare diseases are left untouched. Conditions that impact fewer than 200,000 Americans are difficult to lobby for—and those that do garner attention still face challenges when looking to establish expert advisory panels or fill a clinical trial. That's where patient advocacy groups come in, compiling data, educating providers and serving as connectors between small populations and large research institutions. In some cases, their efforts have helped fast-track clinical trials. In others, they've secured the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for a rare disease. But while their success stories are remarkable, they also raise bigger questions: Should patients be expected to do this much? Should finding a cure for a devastating condition depend on how many calls a parent is willing to make or whether they can raise $5 million? "[This work] is really important, but it has also created a pressure on families," Pichard said. "They feel like selling their assets, quitting their jobs and learning science is the only way [their] child can get a cure." This piece explores that bittersweet tension between the promises and pressures of patient-led progress. I hope you'll give it a read this holiday weekend, and maybe share it with someone who, like the advocates featured, refuses to take "no" or "slow" for an answer.

In an opinion piece for The New York Times, Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, wrote: "This Republican policy bill is effectively a partial repeal of the Affordable Care Act to help pay for tax cuts, and should it reach President Trump's desk, it would represent the biggest rollback in federal support for health coverage ever."

He previously served as CEO of Blue Shield of California from 2013 to the end of 2024 and currently sits on the boards of the Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Association and America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP). On Tuesday, I connected with Markovich to discuss last week's prior authorization reforms, born from a roundtable with health insurance companies and backed by HHS and CMS. Editor's Note: Some responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity. AHIP and BCBS were involved in these reforms, and you sit on the boards of both. From your perspective, when did these conversations about changing the prior authorization process really begin? They've been going on for probably the better part of a year behind the scenes with both trade groups. The plan was to develop these criteria and then go out and publicly announce them, but we [decided] we would love to get some positive feedback and support from the federal government. In particular, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is a pretty big customer and client on this one. So we went to them and said, "Look, this is what we've come up with. This is what we're planning on doing. A, How do you feel about it? And B, Would you be willing to say you feel good about it in public?" And they said, "You know what? We really like this, and before you go public, let's talk about this in more detail, and go out effectively together and talk about these changes." That ultimately led to the announcement, but it was very much conceived and driven by the trade associations for the health plans. The prior authorization process has been debated by physicians, hospitals, health plans and even the government for a number of years. What about this particular moment made it time to act and lean into reform? It was really clear this was our top pain point with patients, with the physician community and hospitals as well. This was the thing that was causing the most frustration and friction in the system. There was the sense that the status quo was problematic, and that at some point there would probably be a solution, or solutions that were developed. Then the question would be, who was going to develop them, and where was [reform] going to come from? Was it going to come from the federal government, state governments? All of those were possibilities. And I think we all just recognized we can do a whole lot better than this, and we need to do a whole lot better than this—and we can either construct something that we feel would be impactful without being detrimental, or we can wait for someone else to develop a solution which might be impactful but could also be detrimental, depending on how it's crafted. There have been various events along the way, various ups and downs in the political process, but eventually, this was too painful of a point to be left alone. One of the reforms laid out in the pledge is the standardization of electronic prior authorization submissions. What has been holding up the digitization process, and what will be the greatest challenge going forward? One of the biggest barriers to getting there—and it is going to be our biggest challenge going forward—is establishing and adopting standards for the real-time digital exchange of the information. And I know this from personal experience, because I've been a champion of creating a comprehensive digital health record for every American for many years. We managed to get a law passed in California that requires the sharing of data from physicians and hospitals to health plans: so we have actually created for our members a comprehensive, real time digital record in California, but it's in part thanks to that law and the requirement to share the data. But what ends up happening most of the time in prior authorizations is the health plan will say, there are certain best practices in health care that have been researched, that clinicians agree upon. There's a consensus about what the model of care should be in this situation, and what [the provider is] proposing to do is not consistent with that. But typically what happens is you [as a health plan] don't have all the information on the member. It's there in the medical record somewhere, but it hasn't been sent to the plan in a format that they need to say, "Yes, I can match this up. This patient has this diagnosis. Yes, their test results would indicate that they need this procedure or this drug. It's consistent with medical protocols." So typically, we're missing information, and then a series of time (days, sometimes ) that goes by where we're faxing requests for information. That's been the biggest challenge in the pre-authorization process. When we announced as a plan back in the fall of last year (before these industry announcements) that we were going to a real-time digital solution for prior authorization, we did a little spoof video with me bashing the fax machine to smithereens, which you may find entertaining. To me, that's the biggest thing, Alexis. It's getting standards and protocols down, getting that data available. How is it that the health plan can access that information on the patient, from the physician and hospital, and more broadly, from all of the care that they've had in their history of care? If we have access to all of that, there's absolutely no reason why these prior authorization decisions can't happen as quickly as your prior authorization decisions do on your credit card, and that's what we're shooting for. But what needs to happen is that digitization of the data and that real time sharing of it—and there's been challenges with that, historically.

Study: Medicaid, Medicare don't adequately cover addiction treatment
July 1 (UPI) -- Opioid addicts covered by Medicare and Medicaid are less likely to receive the mental health and substance use treatment that they need, a new study says. Addicts with public insurance receive more than twice as many sessions if their therapy is also covered by other sources, such as court-mandated treatment, researchers report in the journal Addiction Science & Clinical Practice. "What's most striking is how insurance type fundamentally shapes patient treatment," said principal investigator Jamey Lister, an associate professor at the Rutgers University School of Social Work in New Jersey. "We discovered that patients with public insurance alone were less likely to utilize treatment services compared to those with multiple funding sources," Lister said. This news comes as Medicare and Medicaid face potential cuts from Republican-sponsored legislation making its way through Congress, researchers noted. About 10% of American adults suffer from both substance use and mental health disorders that require integrated treatment for both. For the new study, researchers analyzed records of 705 patients registered at a community health center in New Jersey between 2015 and 2021. During that period, the state's Medicaid coverage expanded under the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). The patients all had been diagnosed with opioid use disorder, and 72% had another substance use disorder such as cannabis, cocaine or alcohol. About 39% also had a co-occurring mental health condition such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression or schizophrenia. Results show that people were more likely to get all the help they needed if they had additional coverage on top of Medicaid or Medicare. "It's the exact opposite of how we should be helping people," Lister said. "We should aspire to provide health care services that are driven by patient need, not by financing. But as we found, if you're only using public insurance, you're likely falling through the cracks." Cutting Medicaid and Medicare would make these problems worse, and cost the health care system even more in the long run, Lister argues. Lister pointed to a 2021 study published by the American Medical Association, which found that improving access to opioid addiction treatment can save between $25,000 to $105,000 in lifetime costs per person. In addition, overdoses, addiction and deaths account for $35 billion in health care costs annually, as well as nearly $15 billion in criminal justice costs, according to a Pew report highlighted by Lister.
