Medicare would cover more types of lung cancer screening tests.
This bill would let Medicare cover a wider range of lung cancer screening tests that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This means more options for older Americans and people with disabilities who are at risk for lung cancer. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would decide which new tests are covered and for whom.
Today, Medicare Part B covers specific lung cancer screening tests as preventive services. This bill would change that. It would give the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to add more types of Food and Drug Administration-approved lung cancer screening tests to Medicare's coverage. This means more options for eligible individuals.
