Medicare and many private health insurance plans cover lung cancer screening without cost-sharing, but eligibility criteria vary based on the type of plan you have and many plans are currently updating their criteria to match new guidelines. Check out our coverage chart to learn more. Health plans, including Medicare and private insurance, may charge co-pays if the facility or provider is “out of network.” When booking your appointment, confirm with the facility that it and the providers are “in-network” to avoid cost-sharing.
Medicare and most private insurers cover these screenings with no out-of-pocket costs for patients who qualify. Follow-up tests and additional screenings after your initial scan may require a co-pay or deductible. Our patient navigators can help you understand your coverage.
