Public Health – Prostate–Specific Antigen Testing (Protect Our Prostate Act)

Summary

The bill mandates that doctors give patients written instructions on how to prepare for a prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) test, and that labs also provide such instructions when the test is done without a doctor’s order. It also sets uniform rules for labs on the type of PSA assays they can use, how they must calibrate and report results, and what information they must share with ordering doctors. The goal is to improve test accuracy and help patients understand the implications of the results.
