Bill overview
This bill, the Colorectal Cancer Payment Fairness Act, aims to make colorectal cancer screening tests more affordable for Medicare beneficiaries. It proposes to eliminate the coinsurance requirement for these tests, ensuring that seniors don’t have to pay a portion of the cost when receiving covered screenings. The bill sets a timeline for full elimination of the coinsurance, with a gradual phase-in beginning in 2025 and reaching 100% coverage by 2026. This change is intended to improve colorectal cancer screening rates among Medicare patients.
