Plain-English Summary

The bill would expand access to lung cancer screening by making it easier and more affordable for people at risk to get tested early, likely through changes to insurance coverage and Medicare/Medicaid rules. This would primarily affect current and former smokers and others at high risk for lung cancer, as well as healthcare providers and insurers who would need to cover these screening services. Early detection of lung cancer can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates.
