Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act

MichBio is among over 400 groups from all 50 states that have signed the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s letter to Congress encouraging passage of the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act (H.R. 1946 / S. 1873). The legislation has reached an exciting milestone with over half of the U.S. House of Representatives having co-sponsored the bill.

As a reminder, the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act aims to overcome the access barriers that exist for Medicare beneficiaries by creating a pathway for timely coverage of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests once they are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
