Medicare would cover early detection tests for Alzheimer's and related dementias, including blood tests.
Right now, Medicare does not pay for early detection tests, like blood tests, for Alzheimer's disease or similar dementias before symptoms are clear. This bill would change that. It would allow Medicare beneficiaries to get these specific tests covered starting January 1, 2028, and ensure healthcare providers get paid for giving them.
Today, Medicare does not explicitly cover early detection tests for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias for people who are not yet showing symptoms or are in the early stages. If this bill becomes law, Medicare would begin covering these specific early detection tests, including blood-based and other biological sample tests, starting January 1, 2028.
