The United States Preventative Services Task Force[1] reviews studies and meta-studies to make recommendations about screening procedures. Their ratings are used by Medicare and Medicaid to decide what's covered and for which patients. In turn, many private insurance companies cover the same procedures. The USPSTF explicitly doesn't consider cost in their recommendations. Most often, they look at whether a screening reduces mortality rates.
