Bill overview
This bill would require Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to cover COVID-19 testing and related services without requiring patients to pay any costs, such as deductibles or co-pays. The bill aims to ensure equitable access to testing during the public health emergency. It specifically prohibits MA plans from imposing prior authorization or other restrictions on coverage for these tests. This change would apply during the period the public health emergency remains in effect.
