Weekly Policy Blog: Federal Update- Four New Pieces of Legislation Introduced

CBSA advocates for policies that allow patients to receive access to critical life-saving novel technologies. We applaud members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation for supporting patient access to tests that offer early detection of cancer. CBSA thanks Senator Michael Bennet for re-introducing the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Screening Coverage Act, (S. 2085) legislation alongside Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID), Tim Scott (R-SC) and Ben Cardin (D-MD). This bill is a companion piece to H.R. 2407, and seeks to create a pathway for Medicare to cover multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screening tests once they are approved by the FDA. CBSA also thanks  Representatives Jason Crow, Yadira Caraveo, Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, and Brittany Pettersen for co-sponsoring H.R. 2407.

CBSA has supported and engaged on this legislation since it was first introduced in 2020.
