Bill overview
This bill, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, would allow Medicare to cover and pay for multi-cancer early detection screening tests starting in 2028. These tests, which must meet specific FDA requirements and analyze multiple cancer types, would be limited to individuals under 68 years old in 2028 (increasing annually) and would be performed every 11 months. The bill also establishes payment amounts and standards for these screenings, with adjustments over time and specific rules for tests recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
