Summary
Cigna Healthcare updated prostate cancer screening guidelines, now covering PSA tests at no cost for men 45+ (or 40+ with risk factors) at in-network locations. The policy emphasizes risk-adapted screening and shared decision-making with updated baseline testing recommendations.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk staff should inform male patients 45+ (or 40+ with risk factors) that PSA screening is covered at no cost through in-network providers. Providers should implement shared decision-making conversations using CDC tools and document risk factors (age, race, family history) for appropriate screening recommendations.
