Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is around the corner!

All year long – but especially in March – we’re committed to raising awareness about the importance of starting colorectal cancer screening at the right time.

While CRC is the third most common cancer, there is a silver lining: CRC is treatable when caught early!

That’s why it’ll take each of us to do our part to remind patients, loved ones and those around us that CRC screening is a part of routine health maintenance. For most people at average risk, that means getting screened starting at age 45.

Nearly one-third of CRC deaths could be avoided – let’s work together to increase screening rates and ultimately save lives.

Make sure you and your patients have the information you need about CRC when it comes to payment and reimbursement, plus resources that help patients understand what CRC and colonoscopies are – available in both in English and Spanish.

Payment and reimbursement resources:
