Senate committee advances bill to cover genetic cancer testing for state plan enrollees after fiscal questions The committee approved amendments to SB1626 to provide evidence‑based genetic testing for cancer‑related genes to Tennessee state plan enrollees, eliminate out‑of‑pocket costs in the amendment as drafted, and moved the bill to the Finance Committee after the Department of Finance and Administration flagged a roughly $2.9 million fiscal impact for 100% state payment.

Tennessee's Senate committee just advanced a groundbreaking bill that could eliminate out-of-pocket costs for essential genetic cancer testing for state employees!
