Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act of 2026

This bill would add cancer care planning services to Medicare, so a doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner could be paid for writing a treatment plan for a person diagnosed with cancer. It would require Medicaid to cover fertility preservation and treatment for cancer patients with no cost-sharing, and to cover care that moves childhood and adolescent cancer survivors from cancer specialists to primary care. It would create Labor Department grants to help cancer survivors and their families with work-related needs, and Health and Human Services grants for survivor quality-of-life services. It would also require a new Medicare and Medicaid payment model for survivorship care, a Government Accountability Office study, and an Office of Cancer Survivorship within the National Cancer Institute.
