## Summary

**Expands Medicare coverage for hereditary cancer genetic testing and related preventive care.** It would let Medicare cover germline mutation testing, repeat tests, guideline-based risk-reducing surgeries, and more frequent high-risk screenings for people with personal or family histories that suggest hereditary cancer. - Patients with a personal or family history suspicious for hereditary cancer would be eligible for Medicare-covered germline mutation testing that follows evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Repeat testing would also be allowed when appropriate. - People with identified hereditary cancer mutations would have guideline-recommended risk-reducing surgeries covered as medically necessary under Medicare. - Individuals identified at high genetic risk would qualify for more frequent evidence-based screenings such as screening mammography, breast MRI, colonoscopy, and PSA testing, with coverage aligned to guidelines and at least annually. - National oncology organizations, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the Society of Gynecologic Oncology would guide testing and screening standards, and Medicare contractors may adopt the least restrictive guideline when recommendations conflict.
