We now cover colorectal cancer screenings starting at age 45
As we reported in a web‑DENIS message posted June 15, the United States Preventive Services Task Force changed its recommendation for when to begin colorectal cancer screenings from age 50 to 45.
Effective July 1, 2021, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network cover these screenings, beginning at age of 45, for members who are part of National Health Care Reform‑compliant groups.
As always, you’ll want to check web‑DENIS for information on your patients’ benefits and eligibility. |
