Colorectal cancer affects men and women of all racial and ethnic groups, and risk increases with age (see CDC). During Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, encourage screening to help find this cancer early when treatment is most effective.
Medicare covers colorectal cancer screening. Find out when your patient is eligible for screening. If you need help, contact your eligibility service provider.
