Colorectal Cancer Screening
Regular screening, beginning at age 50, is the key to preventing colorectal cancer. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that adults age 50 to 75 be screened for colorectal cancer.
Most insurance plans and Medicare help pay for colorectal cancer screening for people who are 50 years old or older. Colorectal cancer screening tests may be covered by your health insurance policy without a deductible or co-pay.
If you are between the ages of 50 and 75 and have not been screened for colorectal cancer, please talk to your health care provider about an easy, in-home test.

La mayoría de los planes de seguro y Medicare ayudan a pagar la detección del cáncer colorrectal para personas de 50 años o más. Las pruebas de detección del cáncer colorrectal pueden estar cubiertas por su póliza de seguro médico sin un deducible o copago.
Si tiene entre 50 y 75 años y no se le ha hecho la prueba del cáncer colorrectal, hable con su proveedor de atención médica acerca de una prueba fácil en el hogar.
