Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes Medicare rules for certain colorectal cancer screening tests. Under current law, Medicare's share of payment for these tests rises in steps and patients pay some coinsurance until 2030. The bill would set Medicare's payment at 100 percent starting in 2026 and each year after, so patients would not owe coinsurance for these tests. It also removes the January 1, 2030 end date from the related provision.
