## Summary

**Expands Medicare coverage for FDA-cleared lung cancer screening tests.** The bill would let Medicare Part B cover additional lung cancer screening tests that the Food and Drug Administration clears or approves as preventive services for eligible individuals, with frequency and payment limits set by the Secretary in consultation with experts. - Families and seniors: Medicare beneficiaries at risk for lung cancer could access a wider range of FDA-cleared screening options under Part B when deemed "appropriate individuals" by the Secretary. - Providers and health systems: Clinicians and clinics could bill Part B for these additional preventive screenings under rules and payment rates the Secretary establishes. - Test developers: Manufacturers of FDA-cleared or approved lung cancer screening tests would have a clearer path to Medicare preventive coverage beyond the existing national coverage determination 210.14. - Federal agencies: The Secretary may consider recommendations from preventive-services experts and entities convened by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality when deciding coverage, frequency, and payment limits.
