The Colorectal Cancer Payment Fairness Act amends the Social Security Act to remove the coinsurance requirement for specific colorectal cancer screening tests provided under the Medicare program. This change ensures that beneficiaries will not have to pay a portion of the cost for these tests, effective immediately and continuing annually. The bill modifies existing provisions to reflect this permanent change.
