Specifically, it would cover genetic testing for people who have a personal or family history of hereditary cancer gene mutations, and it would also cover risk-reducing surgeries and screenings related to those mutations.

How it affects you

If you're on Medicare and have a personal or family history of hereditary cancer, this would make it easier and more affordable to get genetic testing to see if you carry a cancer-related gene mutation. You'd also have Medicare coverage for surgeries and screenings recommended to reduce your cancer risk based on those results.
