LegislationWatch: Proposed: Bill for Alzheimer Blood Testing in Medicare, H.R. 6130

Legislation watch:  A bill is introduced which would cover preventive screening with blood tests for Alzheimer's disease.   

The full legislative text isn't posted yet, but if it resembles recent bills for MCED at Medicare, it would give CMS authority to create NCDs in this area without waiting for an endorsement from USPTF. (Prior HR 2407, now HR 842).
