- Title
- Medicaid, to require coverage of rapid whole genome sequencing
- Description
Under existing law, the Medicaid program does not cover rapid whole genome sequencing.
This bill would require Medicaid to pay for rapid whole genome sequencing for hospitalized infants, children, and younger adults who suffer from acute or complex illnesses that have causes that elude the more conventional means of medical detection, in order to determine if the origin is genetic.
