Plain-English Summary

The proposal would expand insurance coverage for genetic counseling services, making it easier and more affordable for patients to meet with specialists who help people understand their genetic risks for diseases. Genetic counselors work with patients to explain test results, discuss family health history, and plan medical care—services that are currently often not covered by insurance or require high out-of-pocket costs. This change would primarily benefit patients seeking to understand inherited health conditions and their families.
