Finn Sawyer Access to Cancer Testing Act

This bill would require Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP to cover certain advanced genetic tests for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. These tests include microarray analysis, DNA and RNA sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, and other next-generation sequencing tests. The Department of Health and Human Services would also have to create a program to educate doctors and the public about genetic testing and genetic counselors.
