## Provisions PRIA read

- No Medicare coinsurance for colon cancer screenings: benefit, medium. If enacted, this bill would end coinsurance for certain colorectal cancer screening tests under Medicare. Medicare would pay 100% of the allowed amount for these tests in each year after 2026, so you would not owe the 15% coinsurance. Your savings would equal about 15% of Medicare’s allowed amount…
