Preventive Colon Cancer Screenings for Individuals 45 and Older
BCBSNC will cover preventive colorectal cancer screenings for individuals 45 and older with no out-of-pocket costs ahead of new screening guidelines going into effect nationally.
Dropping the screening age from 50 to 45 will allow for earlier colorectal cancer detection. The policy applies to all non-grandfathered Blue Cross NC group plans and self-funded group plans, including the State Health Plan.
- Effective March 7, 2022, for members of fully-insured individual and group plans
- Effective April 1, 2022, for members of self-funded group health plans, including State Health Plan members
