Medicare will cover low-dose CT scan lung cancer screening

It's the decision that many people have been waiting for: it appears that Medicare is proposing to cover low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening for specific patients.

The Medicare "Proposed Decision Memo for Screening for Lung Cancer with Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) (CAG-00439N)" came out on Nov 10, 2014.

CMS is seeking comments on this proposed decision (and you can view the posted comments as well). Learn more here.
