Bill overview
The Advancing Access to Precision Medicine Act allows state Medicaid programs to cover DNA sequencing clinical services for certain children and former foster youth under specific circumstances, such as having a suspected genetic disease. The bill also directs the National Academy of Medicine to study the impact of genetic testing on healthcare, including potential barriers to coverage and ways to improve access. States can apply for planning grants to develop these coverage plans, and states are required to report on the impact of the coverage on health disparities.
