To provide rapid whole genome sequencing

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the state to cover rapid whole genome sequencing for Medicaid beneficiaries under 21 who are hospitalized with a serious, unexplained illness. This testing, which analyzes a person's complete genetic makeup, would need to show preliminary results within 5 days and final results within 14 days. The coverage would apply only if the illness is not caused by common factors like infection or trauma, and if the results could help guide treatment decisions.
