Bill overview
The Colorectal Cancer Payment Fairness Act aims to make colorectal cancer screening more accessible for Medicare beneficiaries. It eliminates the usual coinsurance requirement for these screenings, regardless of the specific diagnosis or procedure billed. This change would take effect starting in 2023, significantly reducing the financial burden for patients undergoing these important preventative tests. The bill ensures that Medicare fully covers these screenings annually, beginning in 2023.
