Bill Summary
A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for Medicare coverage of multi-cancer early detection screening tests.
AI Summary
This bill, the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, aims to amend the Social Security Act to provide Medicare coverage for multi-cancer early detection screening tests. These tests, which have been approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, can detect multiple types of cancer early on through a single blood, blood product, urine, or other biological sample test. The bill establishes that these multi-cancer screening tests will be covered under Medicare Part B, with a frequency limit of one test per year. The bill also ensures that coverage for other cancer screening tests, such as those for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer, will not be affected by the use of multi-cancer early detection screening tests.
