Her Doctor Will Order a $949 Blood Test That Screens for Multiple Cancers. Medicare Will Pay $0 Toward the Test, Leaving Her With the Entire Bill Before Any Coverage Decision in 2029
Grail's Galleri cancer-detection test, priced at $949, is not covered by Medicare. FDA advisory panel supported its effectiveness, safety, and risk-benefit profile. Medicare coverage may start in 2029, but age restrictions could exclude some beneficiaries. Grail expects FDA decision by early Q1 2027. Promotional pricing and other coverage options may reduce out-of-pocket costs.
