Support for access to genetic counseling continues to grow!

Thank you to Representatives Rep. Janelle Bynum, Rep. Neal Dunn, Rep. Dan Goldman, Rep. Kevin Mullin, Rep. Josh Riley and Rep. Joe Wilson for cosponsoring the Access to Genetic Counselor Services Act.

This legislation would recognize genetic counselors as Medicare providers and help Medicare beneficiaries access genetic counseling services.

Help keep the momentum going! Contact your members of Congress and ask them to support the bill: https://www.nsgc.org/Advocacy/Take-Action-Contact-Congress
