Why CRC screening gaps continue to hurt payer quality performance


Tens of millions of average-risk adults remain overdue for colorectal cancer screening, even as colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death among Americans under 50.

Traditional mailed FIT programs often struggle to sustain engagement, complete follow-up colonoscopy and support long-term HEDIS COL-E performance. This white paper examines how a direct-to-home, navigation-supported colorectal cancer screening model is helping health plans improve screening completion rates across Medicare, Commercial and Medicaid populations.

Drawing on real-world program data from more than 328,000 Cologuard® test kit orders, the report explores how payers can support quality and equity goals.

You'll learn:
 
  • Why mailed FIT programs often fail to sustain screening adherence and follow-up
  • How navigation-supported outreach can improve screening completion and diagnostic colonoscopy rates
  • Ways health plans can leverage three-year screening intervals to support HEDIS COL-E and Star Ratings performance
