Legislation aims to provide coverage under the Medicare program for FDA-approved qualifying colorectal cancer screening blood-based tests
Berlin (Germany) and San Diego, CA (U.S.A.), March 15, 2019 – Representatives Donald Payne, Jr (D-NJ) and Kenny Marchant (R-TX) today introduced the ''Donald Payne Sr. Colorectal Cancer Detection Act’’ (HR 1765) to the United States House of Representatives in Washington D.C. This House Bill aims to provide payment and coverage under the Medicare program for FDA-approved qualifying colorectal cancer (CRC) screening blood-based tests.
“Screening utilizing blood testing mitigates patient barriers associated with typical colorectal cancer screening methods. The House Bill addresses the last barrier for Medicare patients – payment,” said Greg Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Epigenomics AG. “The passing of this bill provides millions of unscreened Americans access to CRC screening and ultimately saves thousands of lives.”
