Medicare would pay for new tests to find many cancers early for eligible seniors.
This bill would allow Medicare to pay for new tests that can check for many types of cancer at the same time. Millions of seniors on Medicare could get these tests starting in 2028. The goal is to find several cancers earlier, but there would be limits on age and how often someone can get tested.
Today, Medicare does not pay for tests that screen for many types of cancer at once. If this bill becomes law, Medicare Part B would cover these multi-cancer early detection screening tests starting in 2028. There would be specific rules about who qualifies, how often they can get tested, and how much Medicare would pay.
