Description
|
Provides funding to eliminate prior authorization requirements for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screenings as a preventive measure for at-risk recipients. Based on current policy, LDCT screenings are only covered with prior authorization and when medically necessary. Covering the screening for Medicaid adults as a preventive service is expected to decrease a recipient’s risk of developing advanced-stage lung cancer. |
