Medicare Coverage for Multi-Cancer Early Detection Tests Starting 2028.
This legislation adds advanced multi-cancer early detection screening tests to Medicare coverage, significantly benefiting seniors and disabled individuals by potentially enabling earlier diagnosis of various cancers. Coverage begins January 1, 2028, subject to specific age and frequency limitations. Initially, the test will be covered for individuals aged 68 and older, once every 11 months.
Key points
Medicare Part B will cover new multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood tests starting January 1, 2028.
Coverage is limited to individuals who have reached a specified age (starting at 68 in 2028, increasing annually) and can only be performed once every 11 months.
The introduction of these new tests does not change existing Medicare coverage for standard cancer screenings (e.g., breast, colon, lung).
