We had a great meeting this week with Rep. Kim Moser. We’re excited about a bill she will file when the legislative session resumes Feb. 7th. It will help us end cancer as we know it! More details soon! #KYGA23

It’s a big week for CRC screening! On November 1, the @CMSGov finalized a proposed rule to ensure Medicare beneficiaries won’t face out-of-pocket costs if they need a #colonoscopy after getting a positive result on a noninvasive CRC screening test: buff.ly/3FOhRp9
