Bill overview
This bill, the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act of 2020, aims to expand Medicare coverage to include multi-cancer early detection screening tests. These tests, approved by the FDA, could screen for many types of cancer simultaneously and are seen as a way to improve cancer detection rates and outcomes. The bill establishes a new benefit for these tests and sets limits on how frequently they can be performed to prevent over-testing.
