AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add cancer care planning and coordination services to Medicare coverage, paid at the same rate as transitional care management unless changed. It would require Medicaid to cover care transitions for survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer and to cover fertility preservation and treatment for cancer patients without cost-sharing, with CHIP also required to cover fertility services. It would create a Labor Department grant program to help cancer survivors and their families with work-related needs, and a Health and Human Services grant program for survivor quality-of-life services. It would also require an alternative payment model for survivorship care, a stakeholder meeting and published resources on survivorship care plans, a Government Accountability Office study, and an Office of Cancer Survivorship within the National Cancer Institute.
