Reducing Hereditary Cancer Act of 2025

This bill would change Medicare to cover genetic testing for inherited cancer gene mutations for people with a personal or family history of such a mutation, or a history that suggests hereditary cancer. Testing would follow clinical guidelines from national cancer specialist groups, and Medicare would cover it once per person. For people who qualify, Medicare would treat surgery that guidelines say lowers cancer risk as reasonable and necessary. For people found to carry an inherited cancer gene mutation, Medicare would loosen limits on how often it covers screenings such as mammograms, breast MRIs, colonoscopies, and PSA tests, allowing them at least once a year.
