Legislative update:

The bipartisan MCED Screening Coverage Act has been signed into law!

In a historic moment for cancer prevention and early detection, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Screening Coverage Act/Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act was signed into law on February 3, 2026.

The law passed through both chambers of Congress as part of a bipartisan spending package that is funding multiple federal agencies through the remainder of FY 2026, including Labor, Health and Human Services (LLHS).

Today, routine screening is available for only five types of cancer, which leaves the vast majority of cancers without available screening tests. MCED tests have the potential to find more cancers early—before they have spread to other parts of the body—increasing the likelihood treatment will be successful, lowering the cost of treatment and improving quality of life for patients and their caregivers.

Over the last five years, the Prevent Cancer Foundation has proudly led more than 550 advocacy organizations to support the MCED Screening Coverage Act, reflecting widespread recognition of the urgent need for Medicare to have the ability to adopt innovative cancer detection technologies.

The MCED Screening Coverage Act has been championed by Representatives Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), Terri Sewell (D-Ala.), Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) and Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), along with Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).

Thank you for joining us in advocating for this groundbreaking legislation!
