The payment is tied to a stool DNA test, then to the lab fee schedule
What the document says“with respect to such a test furnished before January 1, 2031, equal to the payment amount in effect on the date of the enactment of this subsection for a multi-target stool screening DNA test covered pursuant to section 1861(pp)(1)(D); and”
Section 6221 adds a new subsection (aa) to section 1834 of the Social Security Act. Before January 1, 2031 the payment equals the amount in effect at enactment for a multi-target stool screening DNA test. On or after that date it is the lesser of that amount or the amount determined under section 1834A.
What the document actually says“with respect to such a test furnished before January 1, 2031, equal to the payment amount in effect on the date of the enactment of this subsection for a multi-target stool screening DNA test covered pursuant to section 1861(pp)(1)(D); and”
Take a test given before January 1, 2031. Pay what one other screening test was paid. Use the rate in force the day this part passed.
The other test looks for cancer signs in a stool sample. Tying one price to another sets a rate without a new study. Later the rate can fall.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
