The Access to Genetic Counselor Services Act of 2026 aims to expand Medicare coverage for genetic counseling services. The main objective is to ensure that patients have better access to genetic counseling, which can help them understand their genetic health risks and make informed decisions about their healthcare. Key provisions of the Act include the definition of covered genetic counseling services, which will be available starting January 1, 2027. These services must be provided by licensed genetic counselors or certified individuals in states without licensing.
