Summary
BCBSRI has partnered with Lifespan Community Health Institute to provide colorectal cancer screening outreach and navigation services to members with gaps in screening. Members ages 45-75 who haven't had colonoscopy for 10+ years or home test for 1-3+ years will receive letters and may get calls to help schedule screenings.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Be aware that BCBSRI members may receive increased outreach for colorectal cancer screening, which could result in higher volume of colonoscopy scheduling requests and screening-related visits.
