Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to eliminate the coinsurance requirement for certain colorectal cancer screening tests furnished under the Medicare program.
AI Summary
This bill, the Colorectal Cancer Payment Fairness Act, aims to eliminate the coinsurance requirement for certain colorectal cancer screening tests covered under the Medicare program. Specifically, it removes the provision that previously required the coinsurance to be covered at a rate of 85% through 2026, instead making the full 100% of the cost covered by Medicare for these screenings going forward. This change is intended to improve access to important colorectal cancer detection and prevention services for Medicare beneficiaries.
