Why C is correct
C.R.S. § 10-16-104(18) requires Colorado coverage of annual breast cancer screening (mammography) for covered persons age 40 or older, with family history or elevated lifetime risk serving as additional triggers. Recommended follow-up diagnostic and supplemental imaging must also be provided without cost-sharing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 30 is below the Colorado mammography screening age.
- B) 35 is not the statutory screening age; coverage begins at age 40 or older.
- D) 45 overstates the age; the Colorado mammography mandate begins at 40.
Memory hook
Mammograms at 40 — sooner if family history says so.
