Select Medicare Advantage members will receive Cologuard test kits in July

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are working with Exact Sciences, a credentialed colorectal cancer screening provider, to distribute in-home Cologuard^® test kits in July to select Medicare Plus Blue℠ and BCN Advantage℠ members.

Health care providers with patients who receive an advance notice about the kits should encourage them to take advantage of this convenient, no-cost screening.

Members who have a gap in care for colorectal cancer screening will receive Cologuard screening kits. Members who received kits from a Blue Cross or BCN program in 2023 or 2024, or are due for a colonoscopy in 2025, are excluded. Members will be encouraged to discuss test results with their primary care providers.
