Hormonal changes and life stressors can impact mood. If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression or persistent irritability, consider talking with your provider and exploring counseling resources available. It has also been shown that time spent in nature, doing hobbies that enrich your life and participating in fellowship activity are pillars for your mental health, so try to get outside and connect with people and things that lift you up.

What’s changing in 2026?
Starting in 2026, preventive breast cancer screening coverage goes beyond standard screening mammograms. If additional imaging is needed to complete your screening, it may be covered at no cost to you.
What services may be included as preventive screening?
Screening mammograms
Breast MRI or ultrasound when medically indicated to complete the screening process and billed as preventive by the provider
What does “medically indicated” mean? Your provider determines whether additional imaging is needed based on your initial mammogram results. When follow-up imaging is part of screening (not diagnosis or treatment), it may be covered as preventive care.
Why might my costs still vary?
Coverage depends on how services are billed by your provider (preventive vs. diagnostic). If imaging is performed to diagnose or treat a confirmed condition, cost sharing may apply.
Helpful tips
Ask your provider whether follow-up imaging is part of preventive screening or diagnostic care.
If a service requires prior authorization, your provider should submit it in advance.
For major procedures, you can request a predetermination of benefits before moving forward.

Leakage, discomfort or pelvic pain — these are things many women experience at some point, whether after childbirth, during midlife changes or somewhere in between. They're more common than you might think, and while they can feel embarrassing to bring up, help is available. You don't have to just live with it. Talk with your provider about symptoms and potential options such as physical therapy or specialty care.
