Bill Intelligence

The bill aims to improve access to lung cancer screening and tobacco cessation for Medicaid recipients and individuals with private health insurance. For Medicaid, the bill expands coverage for annual lung cancer screenings and tobacco cessation services without cost-sharing requirements. Medicare and private insurers are also required to cover annual lung cancer screenings without prior authorization. Additionally, there's a provision for lung cancer education and outreach, allocating $10 million annually for 5 years. A report is mandated to identify demographic gaps in current screening eligibility guidelines and make recommendations for improving screening. Effective dates for most provisions are set for January 1, 2028.
