Concert Genetic Oncology: Cancer Screening
AMBETTER-CG-Onc-Cancer-Screen-2025.1
Genetic and biomarker cancer screening tests (stool DNA/FIT‑DNA such as Cologuard, urine‑based assays like PolypDx, and select blood‑based and circulating biomarker assays) to stratify asymptomatic individuals into lower- or higher-risk categories and to screen individuals known to be at increased risk for specific cancers. Coverage is focused on average‑risk adults (e.g., FIT‑DNA for ages ≥45, routine screening 45–75 with individualized decisions 76–85) and higher‑risk patients where specified, but these tests are not diagnostic and positive results require confirmatory diagnostic testing (e.g., colonoscopy); many blood‑ and urine‑based colorectal and lung biomarker screens are considered investigational and not covered.
